The "regular" 2018 Rausch Trockenbeerenauslese (AP 2) is slightly volatile and enormously concentrated

so the wine lacks the polish of the better vintages

This is terrific and very much built-to-age

The mouthfeel is fleshy and generous and there is plenty of backbone here to carry the wine forward throughout the years

There is a gorgeously refined mouth feel to the medium-bodied flavors that possess fine depth as well as nicely integrated tannins on the mouth coating and attractively persistent finish

Fruit essences and mineral salts animate the rich yet delicate palate. Crisp, clean and delicious already. Joel B. Payne
