Kracher TBA Nr2 Traminer 1999
The amber-colored 1999 Trockenbeerenauslese No 2 Traminer Nouvelle Vague (Library Release 2024) opens with an intense bouquet of porcini, malt, orange, dark (cane) sugar, molasses and candied apricot as well as peanut, rose petal and orange aromas. The wine is savory and rich on the very intense and fresh, elegant and refined, stimulating and bitter palate that reveals a serious tannin structure and a rather dry, spicy taste. This is a gorgeous wine to have with a cigar or matured hard cheese but also with nougat and cinnamon dishes. Fabulous. 13.5% stated alcohol with 136 grams per liter of residual sugar. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in May 2024.
