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.

2000 TBA No. 1 Traminer
In der Nase fruchtiger Honig, braucht etwas Luft um die sortentypischen Aromen loszulassen, Süßholz, Orangenblüten, Rosen, am Gaumen elegant, feiner Eibischteig, kraftvoll, sehr geschliffenes Finale.
Dusty, smoky botrytis aromas are intermingled with spicy apricots in the nose of the 2000 #1 Traminer Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague. Medium to full-bodied, bold, and lush, it reveals oak-laced peach flavors, loads of dusty noble rot, and a slightly rustic finish. This oily-textured, lush wine has outstanding concentration and depth. However, even with 116.2 grams of residual sugar per liter (14% alcohol, 5.6 grams/liter total acidity), it is dominated by Kracher’s other 2000s.

2005 TBA No. 3 Traminer
Kräftiges Goldgelb. In der Nase sehr feines, zugleich intensives Bukett, zart floral, Veilchen und Eibisch, feine ätherische Note, mit Luft verstärkt sich der Rosenduft, sehr einladend. Am Gaumen kompakt, sehr gut integrierte Süße, zart nach Mandarinen, feine Säurestruktur, fruchtige Exotik im Nachhall, sehr gute Länge, braucht noch Zeit.
The 2005 #3 Traminer Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague is strongly oriented along the animal – more precisely, marine-porcine – axis of this notorious family of grapes. Ham hock, candied rose petal and violets, celery seed, and ocean breeze rise from the glass. This coats the mouth with an oily residue of pork fat, along with rose oil, lychee, pineapple, and white pepper. There is a cut and brightness to the finish that belie the grape variety, the new wood, and this wine’s mere 7 grams of acidity. Cinnamon, white pepper, and bacon hog the finish from the fruits and flowers. This should be worth following for at least 15-20 years.

2005 TBA No. 5 Chardonnay
Mittleres Gelbgold. In der Nase feine Gewürzanklänge nach Zimt, Vanilleschoten, gelbe Apfelfrucht, dezenter Kokostouch. Am Gaumen elegant und ausgewogen, nach weißer Schokolade, feine, samtige Textur, das Holz ist perfekt eingebunden. Pikantes Säurespiel, sehr gutes Reifepotenzial.
The 2005 #5 Chardonnay Trockenbeerenauslese Nouvelle Vague is a study in oak as much as Chardonnay or botrytis right now, with spice, vanilla, coconut, and resin all accenting the aromas of tropical fruits and honey. Lovely hints of butterscotch and nutmeg emerge on the palate, where the counterpoint of bright pineapple and grapefruit with creaminess of texture is certainly impressive. But oak spice returns as a dominant theme in the finish, at least for now. Given 9.5 acidity, this wine’s 212 grams of residual sugar are unable to indulge themselves in any superficial display.

2005 TBA No. 9 Scheurebe
Mittleres Gelbgold. In der Nase feinwürzig, zart
rauchige Nuancen, feiner Honigtouch, zart nach
Grapefruitzesten, vielschichtig, süß und einladend.
Am Gaumen zart nach Stachelbeer, Litschi und
Maracuja saftig, sehr feines, animierendes
Säurespiel, herrliche Strahlkraft, zitronige Nuancen,
feine Extraktnoten im Nachhall, sehr gute Länge, hat
ein Riesenpotenzial.
Aromas of pink grapefruit, honey, and cassis soar from the glass of 2005 #9 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen den Seen. Luscious, palpably thick, and creamy in texture, this variation on Scheu-elixir nevertheless emphasizes the sheer vivacity and vivid freshness of citrus and berry of which the variety is capable. Its 309 grams of residual sugar leave behind considerable sweetness (even with 10.2 grams acidity), yet the palate is left refreshed and eager for the next sip. This is hardly the most complex Kracher T.B.A., but still one of the more striking. Expect it to take on added dimensions with time – and I am sure this will thrive for a quarter century.

2015 Blend I
Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, breitere Randaufhellung. Zart floral unterlegte schwarze Beerenfrucht, Nuancen von kandierten Veilchen, etwas Nougat. Saftig, reife Kirschfrucht, zart nach Lakritze, frisch und anhaftend, verfügt über gute Länge, ein vielseitiger Speisenbegleiter.
Blending 80% Zweigelt with 20% Blaufränkisch, the 2015 Blend 1 Trocken shows an elegant, deep and concentrated bouquet of ripe and toasty dark fruits (blueberries and black berries) with caramel and chestnut aromas. Very intense and aromatic on the palate, this is a full-bodied and enormously concentrated big red wine with ripe and lush fruit, fine and elegant tannins and good mineral tension on the finish. Impressive, especially for lovers of bigger and concentrated wines with elegance and freshness. Bottled in September, tasted in December 2018.

2015 Reunion Vision
Sehr schöne Struktur mit viel Eleganz, sehr fruchtig un dsaftig im Geschmack, bracuht etwas Zeit im Glas und sollte nicht zu warm getrunken werden, sehr hohe Lagerfähigkeit.
From 40- to 45-year-old vines in the Hochberg and with very small berries, the dark 2015 Blaufränkisch Vision offers very deep, ripe, intense and super concentrated dark fruit on the toasty nose. Fermented in a 1,000-liter oak vat and aged in 100% new small oak barrels for 16 months, this is a full-bodied and rich, very elegant and refreshingly pure red with great vitality, grip and length. There are some hints of a dry Douro red, but in fact, this is a great Blaufränkisch from the (Middle) Burgenland. This is an impressive Blaufränkisch with power, finesse and vitality. The aftertaste is incredibly fresh and pure, full of tension and character. Gosh, this is a great wine, although the 2015 is only slowly starting to open up. This is a giant that I terribly underrated as a barrel sample a year ago. If only this wine would be released three to five years after the harvest like a Rioja Grande Reserva, Austria would have another great Blaufränkisch to adore. Without any doubt, this 2015 will still be a great wine in ten and even in 15 years. Tasted from the bottle in December 2018.

Notions of ripe black plum and black cherry come with a faint notion of tar on the brooding nose. The palate comes in with absolute concentration and real intent.

This is a big, bold and also elegant wine that is just becoming approachable and will continue to evolve. (WineEnthusiast)
