Chardonnay Trockenbeerenburgeneusiedauslesenfarfegnugen (or something like that). Intense rotting peaches. I guess interesting on some weird abstract level but not very enjoyable. Too intense. Too rotting.

What a shame. I really like these wines. My advice is to stay far away from that one perhaps, but don't give up on Kracher too quickly.

Are you guys twinsies today?!

I've had Kracher from '98 before, but not a #13. In fact, that's the highest number I think I've ever heard of him making. I have 2 bottles left of the #10 (we had the first one this past August at the Boston offline).

He made a #12 in '02, which I bought, but the alcohol content was too low to be labeled "wine" under Austrian law.

Sorry you didn't enjoy this one. Try a lower number from 2001, if you get a chance.
