Kracher 2008 Zwischen den Seen Nummer 9 Trockenbeerenauslese Welschriesling (Burgenland)

Opulent honey and lemon aromas waft from the glass in this superrich but so balanced wine. The acidity is an essential element, cutting through the sweet orange, honey and ginger flavors. A gorgeous wine.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

  • Online Exclusive

The intensity of the acidity, piercing through the sweetness, is what is astonishing about this wine. It gives the wine an ethereal quality, a lightness to go with the concentration of the dried fruits and orange zest flavors. The essence of TBA.  — R.V.  (3/1/2009)

Franz Hirtzberger 2010 Singerriedel Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $144
Top 100 Cellar Selections 2011
A supreme wine, the embodiment of Wachau Riesling. The steely character with its parallel acidity is beautifully integrated into grapefruit and perfumed white fruits. A taut, nervy texture adds tension to a wine that will age 10 years or more.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

The most complex of Kracher’s 2004 TBAs, as well as the richest in residual sugar. It has mandarin orange, peaches and crystallized fruits. There is freshness, despite its sweetness. It should age magnificently.  — R.V.  (2/1/2007)

Kracher 2005 Nouvelle Vague Nummer 10 Trockenbeerenauslese Chardonnay (Burgenland)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $111
Marmalade, syrup, molasses and a deep layer of botrytis dryness are all elements of this superb wine. But it is so much more than the sum of its parts, because it is the sheer intensity that makes it so fabulous. The finish prolongs the pleasure, the acidity mingling with pure concentration and wonderful, unforgettable honey and fresh fruit.  — R.V.  (3/1/2009)

Franz Hirtzberger 2010 Hochrain Smaragd Riesling (Wachau)

  1. $103
A beautifully perfumed wine is give shape by its great swathe of minerality, its intense acidity. The fruits range from citrus to white peach, a gallery of delicious flavor. Like any great Riesling, it needs years to mature.  — R.V.  (10/1/2011)

F X Pichler 2008 Dürnsteiner Kellerberg Smaragd Grüner Veltliner (Wachau)

  • Cellar Selection
An evocative spice and caramel aroma combine with ripe yellow peach. To taste, the peach comes through strongly, while the fabulous taut structure keeps the wine tightly wound with acidity and minerality. The final taste is just off dry.  — R.V.  (10/1/2010)
