Had this wine courtesy of Revlis on Sat. night. This was my my first Kracher ever and it didn't disappoint. Wine was served in small snifters, as I didn't quite know what to serve them in. Both of these wines were excellent. I prefered the more floral and expansive #11 to the more nutty and carmely #10. Both were very long in finish and showed sweet peach and pear. The #11 had more of a honeysuckle aroma to it. The #10 more hazelnut on the nose. Both are excellent, and although very expensive, (thanks Rev) I would seek one bottle of this out for a VERY special occasion. Let's say #11 95 pts and #10 94 pts. jb

Yea, I definitely loved these to no end.... and the aftertaste I thought was indeed endless. jb liked the #11 more, but I liked the fresher more nutty #10.. little higher acidity, not as thick and goading.... very close call though... they were both tremendous in their own way. I agree with jb's ratings, but maybe in reverse and add a point to each.

If you drink wine, you get smarter....

jb and rev- I have 2 cases of Kracher '98's. These will taste even better with time just like great Sauternes

Back in the day I paid $44 for this on futures. Damn that was a good price. These days you will pay a lot more for these. I agree with Joe above, 94 points & excellent!
