"I really like the style and quality of the 1993 Rausch Auslese AP #4, which is utterly classic and very fine in quality, but it is a bit dwarfed by the magical Auction Rausch Auslese in this vintage. The bouquet on the AP #4 is a superb blend of lemon, tangerine, very complex slate tones, lilacs, sea salts and classic Rausch smokiness in the upper register. On the palate the wine is pure, medium-full and zesty, with outstanding focus and balance, a lovely core of fruit, a fairly moderate impression of sweetness (due to those lovely Saar acids) and exceptional length and grip on the snappy and very, very pure and filigreed finish. A beautiful bottle of Rausch Auslese that is starting to drink very well, but will continue to blossom with further bottle age."

Germany's most celebrated Riesling region, its steep slate slopes above the river yielding featherlight, low-alcohol wines of electric acidity, delicacy and extraordinary longevity.
The appellation for Germany's most celebrated Riesling, its steep slate slopes yielding light, low-alcohol wines of electric acidity and extraordinary longevity.
