The sweet and dessert wine Grande Cuvée TBA No. 6, vintage 2008 from the winery Weinlaubenhof Kracher has been rated in 2011 with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape varieties Chardonnay, Verdelho, Nosiola, Len de L’El, Agiorgitiko, Elbling, Blaufränkisch, Welschriesling from the region Lake Neusiedl in Austria.
Strong yellow gold colour. Very subtle volatile acidity initially, clear botrytis spice, dried fruit of figs and dates, candied orange zest with a fine vanilla touch, apricot confit and subtle herbal spice, not yet fully coalesced on the nose. Juicy, sweet yellow fruit of mango and honeydew melon, some lanolin, very well integrated new wood, stylistically very similar to a Sauternes, fine tropical fruit flavours on the finish, full-bodied finish, pineapple, lemon and yellow peach on the aftertaste, very good ageing potential.
