Description
Neal Martin: The 2010 Rieussec was missing a little intellect when
I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle it has become a contender
for the finest Sauternes of the vintage. It is blessed with a pure
and lifted bouquet with ripe peach, nectarine and honey, hints of
shaved ginger poke their head above the surface with aeration. It
is very subtle. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins,
perfectly judged acidity and convincing harmony. This is a
sophisticated Sauternes with superb mineralite and outstanding
persistency. I will confess that I pinned this as "Yquem" and was
both shocked and pleased when its identity was revealed. Go buy.
Drink 2016-2035.
