lingering and highly persistent finish Excellent

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

Philippe Pacalet, Chambolle Musigny 1er Cru other_regions_australia Buttered brioche and dried apple(from a blend of Sentiers and Feusselottes). Pretty and well layered aromas consist of plum, violet and spice elements. There is excellent minerality and a relatively refined mid palate mouth feel despite ample muscle and punch reflected by the bitter cherry, moderately firm and palate coating finish. This is not a Chambolle of lace and grace but I like the delivery as well as the underlying material. (90 92) 2024+
