Description

VM97 “Full bronze color. High-toned, gamey nose shows wonderfully complex aromas of marmalade, orange peel, honey, resiny spices and caramel; remarkably pure for a wine this freakishly rich. Unctuous, supersweet and extraordinarily intense; has the gooey thickness of 10W30-weight oil but ripe, harmonious acidity miraculously keeps the wine fresh. Finishes with explosive sweetness and endlessly building flavors of marmalade, caramel and brown butter. It’s hard to scrape this near-solid wine off your palate! The extraordinary quality of this set of dessert wines is no coincidence, as Manfred Krankl’s partner on the Mr. K venture is his buddy Alois Kracher, Austria’s legendary master of botrytis wine.” ST for VM June 2003
