1997 Alois Kracher, No.6 ?? Welschriesling;
Pale amber, raisins, dried apricots, caramel, prunes, orange marmalade, and quite mature. Ok acidity, but you really need more at this sugar level, intence but short, not to complex. 72 (Not riesling, not Tokaji, not Sauternes, something Alsace? Austria? Welschriesling?)
1996 Albino Rocca, Barbaresco, Vigneto Brich Ronchi;
Ruby with garnet rim. Closed, vanilla, oak, cassis, milk-chocolate, hints of coffee and mocca, even mints. Fresh acidity, a bit lean body, tannic and alcoholic. 84 (I guessed California, Santa Cruz or Howell Mountain because of cab fruit and the high acidity, some new producer trying a bit to hard. The structure was the only thing to tell you it actually had to be nebbiolo, but it still tasted like Napa Cab)
1997 Chave Hermitage Blanc;
Golden, oxidized, some minerals behind, lazy acidity, not fresh, not balanced, unpleasant. 61
(Jurancon? Jura? Ruined bottle? Yet another oxidized Chave Hermitage.)
