Kracher TBA No.5 RNV 2020

Aged in new barriques for 24-28 months, the 2020 Trockenbeerenauslese No. 5 Rosenmuskateller Nouvelle Vague offers a clear, deep, intense and pure yet complex bouquet of blood oranges, roses, herbs, Italian salami, game, coffee, toast and nougat and, initially, also sage and chamomile aromas intertwined with herbal tea, candied bitter oranges and buttery aromas. Round, sweet and lush on the palate, this is a noble, very elegant, dense, refined, finely tannic and persistently saline TBA with citrus-bitters on the long, structured yet still very young finish. This is another great 2020 TBA from Gerhard Kracher! 9.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted in Lütjensee, Hamburg, in June 2023. To be released mid-September 2023.
