1999 TBA No. 2 Traminer
Medium yellow gold, fine hints of roses and vanilla on the nose, yet a somewhat encapsulated bouquet, damp wool, the Traminer character is only hinted at in the fragrance, very exotic grapefruit zest on the palate, wonderfully interwoven residual sweetness, playful, shows a fine acid structure that gives the wine a lot of liveliness. Very clear finish that brings out the wood well, the alcoholic fire is also noticeable on the finish.The tangy apple-scented 1999 No Traminer Nouvelle Vague Trockenbeerenauslese is a viscous, well-focused wine. A myriad of spices can be found intermingled with sour berries, apricots, and peaches in this medium to full-bodied, rich offering. It is concentrated, intense, and boisterous. Drink it over the next 20-25 years. 93/100 The Wine Advocate / Pierre Rovani

1999 TBA No. 3 Chardonnay/Welschriesling
Strong yellow gold, broad watery rim, floral nose, scent of orchids, spicy wood, cinnamon, cloves, powerful on the palate, almost breathtaking, tastes a little caramel-malty on the finish, medium length.The 1999 No 3 Chardonnay / Welschriesling Nouvelle Vague Trockenbeerenauslese offers demure white peach aromas. On the palate, this zesty medium to full-bodied offering reveals candied tart apple flavors. It is tightly wound and acts like a wine that will be substantially better with cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2026. 90/100 The Wine Advocate / Pierre Rovani

1999 TBA No. 4 Muskat Ottonel
Strong yellow gold, wonderful grape aromas, you can literally see the fruit hanging from the vine in the glass, superb nutmeg notes, great spiciness on the palate, the salty "bitterness" of the fully ripe thick-skinned grapes, great varietal aromas, paired with an opulent residual sugar of enormous firmness, a symphony of flavours begins, great finesse on the finish, a class wine for lovers of bouquet varieties. The raspberry, orange blossom, and cherry-scented 1999 #4 Muskat Ottonel Zwischen Den Seen Trockenbeerenauslese is a thick, unctuous tangerine-flavored fruit bomb. Its oily character slathers the palate with jellied kumquats, mandarins, and tangerines, all of whose flavors linger throughout its marvelously extensive finish. Projected maturity: Now - 2025 +95/100 The Wine Advocate / Pierre Rovani

1999 TBA No. 7 Chardonnay
Strong yellow gold, broad watery rim, initially somewhat volatile acidity, wood aromas, vanilla, a somewhat fluttery bouquet, also appears somewhat rustic on the palate, on the one hand a dense sweetness, on the other hand shows a pointed lemony acidity, yellow-apple flavours, very typical of Chardonnay, medium finish.

2004 TBA No. 1 Zweigelt
Medium brick red colour, delicate touch of ochre. Fine citrus and orange zest on the nose, subtle hints of red berries, delicate tobacco touch. Rather restrained bouquet overall. Fresh on the palate, very lively structure, fresh heart cherries, delicate gingerbread notes of piement and aniseed, complex, soft, silky tannins, already easy to drink, fresh plums on the finish. At 13% alcohol, and with Riesling-like acidity, it’s no wonder that despite 168 grams of residual sugar, Kracher’s 2004 #1 Zweigelt Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague is notable for how little sweetness it displays. This tawny-colored libation drinks like a liqueur of candied blood orange and tangerine rind, cinnamon, and dried cherries. For all of its lushness of texture and its alcohol, it gives a light and very frisky account of itself, and the clean meatiness and leathery notes that emerge with increasing prominence the longer the wine warms in its glass, hold a fascination akin to that of red Burgundy. The liqueur-like finish is nonetheless refreshing, and rendered more so by a subtly saline streak. 92/100 The Wine Advocate David Schildknecht

2004 TBA No. 2 Welschriesling
Medium golden yellow in colour. Delicate leafy notes of cooked rhubarb, peach and a fine yeast component on the nose, fine minerality, gains tropical fruit nuances with air. Fine honey on the palate, fresh structure, very well-integrated acidity, a hint of apricot, remains very persistent, well-balanced, very accessible, already at peace with itself.

2004 TBA No. 3 Traminer
Strong golden yellow colour. Delicately smoky, fine orange zest, rose oil, perfect varietal characteristics. Powerful on the palate, fine wood spice, still needs some time to fully digest the wood, ... (from 2005 the Traminer will be matured in larger barrels to shed its somewhat "French" flavour). Mineral and well persistent, rose petals on the finish, this wine is still a long way from being ready to drink.
The 2004 No 3 Traminer Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague offers a fascinating nose of alkaline brine, faded roses, honey and celery seed that puts one in mind a bit of an older wine. Relatively firm on entry, this Traminer fills the mouth with subtle mint, rose, lychee, and celery seed, without being as extroverted as one would expect from the variety or from this degree of over-ripeness. Exuberance is held back for the finish, where a concentration of mint, cinnamon, and celery seed penetrate impressively, although residual sweetness has the last word.

2004 TBA No. 7 Welschriesling
Strong golden yellow colour. Intense honey note, fine tobacco spice, juicy stone fruit flavours, a hint of grapefruit zest. Powerful on the palate, juicy nougat tone, white-peppery nuances, some tea and spices, completely coats the palate, an opulent wine that perfectly represents the vintage, great length, very good development potential. The 2004 #7 Welschriesling Trockenbeerenauslese "Zwischen den Seen" displays the glazed pineapple and candied lemon aspects of this variety, beginning with its mouthwatering aromas, continuing onto a palate of startling viscosity and palpable richness, and carrying into a finish whose 246 grams of residual sugar are very much evident, but which still stays succulent and fresh. Time will bring considerably more complexity to this T.B.A., as well as of course slim it down a bit, lower the perceived sweetness level, and bring an as yet subtle note of caramel to the fore.93/100 The Wine Advocate / David Schildknecht

2004 TBA No. 8 Traminer
Medium golden yellow colour. Delicately smoky, vegetal fruit, good hints of Tramineran in view of the high gradation. Clearly dominated by wood on the palate, still a little tattered at the moment. Rich in extract and long, needs a lot of time and patience, mineral and finely flavoured, will probably need a few years to consolidate. Kracher’s 2004 No 8 Traminer Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague is impressively-scented with candied rose petal and violets, spiced lychee, and vanilla. At only 9.5% alcohol, and given its low acidity, this T.B.A. is struggling a bit to deal with its 239 grams of residual sugar and an overtly resinous note of new wood. Candied flowers and cinnamon candy linger. 89/100 The Wine Advocate / David Schildknecht
