A beautiful pale, golden yellow hue. It’s sweet and ripe but tries hard to keep an even keel. Once again, I popped this with Thai food - mildly spicy, this time. There’s a bit of flab but overall impressive.

Petrol and lots of smoke, some limey fruit, sweet but fairly balanced. Delicious but fully mature, earlier than I would have expected based on older vintages of Rausch. B+ but drink up.

Very nice zingy riesling to accompany spicy grilled tofu. Abundant apple and pear, wonderful acidity, nice and crisp with a modest amount of sweetness that doesn't distract.

A very good bottle that I think is in a minor midlife funk. Still offering considerable residual sugar. It has some fat typical of the vintage but also some tangy acidity. Just a touch disjointed but a pleasant drink. The moderately spicy Thai sauce I put on the pork tenderloin, helped provide balance. One of the biggest deposits of tartaric crystals I’ve seen in the final pour.

Similar notes to last time, maybe seems a little sweeter and a little more mature. Not profound, but tasty mature rielsing.
