How long did you open/breathe before drinking? Last couple Krachers I have had (most recent was a 98 #6) were soooo much better day 2.

If I have the opportunity/ foresight, I try to open all of my dessert wiens at least 10 hours before consumption. I find this usually adds at least a point or two..

jgreen,

Unfortunately it was pop'n pour but I'll take your advice next time round.

Have you tried the #4 from the same vintage?
