2010 Château Rieussec - Sauternes

Galloni 96 | Suckling 95-96 |

Schwestergut von Lafite-Rothschild

Galloni 96 | The 2010 Rieussec is slightly more backwards on the nose. It is very focused with almond, saffron, orange pith and dried honey aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a harmonious entry. Impressive depth with lovely vanillary new oak, it is long and pure towards the finish. A Sauternes with pedigree. Superb. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

viel Botrytis-Charakter, getrocknete Aprikosen und tropische Früchte

Suckling 95-96 | I love the botrytis spice character to this wine with dried apricots and tropical fruits. It’s full bodied, medium sweet with a long intense finish. It’s very layered. Sweet wine of the vintage.
