CHÂTEAU RIEUSSEC 2005 (3 hf. bt.)

Sauternais. Premier Cru Classé
1 x scraped label

The 2005 Rieussec is a blend of 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle picked between 23 September and 27 October. It has a fabulous bouquet that is mineral-rich and tensile. The palate repeats its performance from last year: focused, tense, laden with botrytis-rich fruit with a crystalline and sorbet-fresh finish that seals the deal. One of the best releases from the estate in recent years. Tasted April 2016. Drink: 2016-2040 WS 96 WA 97
