1998 Alois Kracher Welschriesling TBA #4 Zwischen den Seen, Austria, Neusiedlersee, Wine Review

It is always a pleasure to drink Kracher, especially an older one.  The lower the number, generally, the less sweet they are.  Iced tea in color, clear and bright.  The nose is lively with molasses, hazelnuts, but also apricots and salinity.  Full bodied.  Viscous.  On the palate, this sweet but not crazy sweet.  Good balance.  Delicious.  Easy to  drink.  Flavors of hazel nuts, Salinity and slight dried figs.  Long finish.  This will work with less sweet cakes, maybe something nutty.  Drink over the next ten years or so.
