Kracher’s fame rests on the series of cuvees he makes, which increases in intensity the higher the number. In 2003, the series was broken because of the dry year and the lack of botrytis, and only one wine was made. It certainly has exceptional power from the heat of the year, with raisins as much as botrytis on the palate, and relatively low acidity. ——R.V.(10/1/2006)—— 92
