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. 4 Scheurebe
Strong golden yellow colour. Elegant grapey nuances, fresh mandarin zest, fine vegetal notes, a hint of gooseberries. Juicy apricot fruit on the palate, wonderful stone fruit flavours, racy acidity, very fruit-dominated broad aromas, shows good length. Something for Riesling fans.

Bright golden yellow in colour. Fine, intense floral bouquet on the nose, delicate hibiscus, oranges, underlaid with fine honey, typical nutmeg spice. Full-bodied on the palate, very juicy orange fruit, very mineral on the finish, already showing a marvellous balance, enchanting length, a masterpiece, salty extract spice on the finish.
