Description

A good looking pair of half bottles.

Good complete labels, just a small 'rub' on one of the capsules, and levels at "base of neck". The colour is as one might expect for older Sauternes - see photos.

Wine Journal
Dec 2007 Neal Martin 89 Drink 2007 - 2010
Deep amber colour. The nose is quite intense, marmalade, cut orange peel and some minerals. The palate is fresh and full of vigour with good delineation, though rather linear and some might say one-dimensional. Marmalade, hazelnut with sharp acidity. The problem is does not "fan out" on the finish. Drinking now although I suspect this bottle was not quite showing its best. Tasted November 2006.

Robert M. Parker, Jr. 92 Drink: 1988 - 2005
Light golden with just the slightest tint of green, the 1983 Rieussec, from an excellent year for Sauternes, is certainly one of this property's greatest wines. Well structured with excellent acidity, and a deep, long, rich, full-bodied, viscous texture, this wine, despite the richness and power, is neither heavy nor cloying. It has gorgeous balance and a very long, lingering, spectacular finish.
One of the great successes of the vintage.

8/6/16
Opened (very recalcitrant cork) and poured to accompany strawberries & cream.
Limpid, no ‘voltigeurs’. Colour as per photos. In the mouth a very smooth Sauternes, no hard edges any more but retaining some sharpness to balance out the sweetness. On the nose lingering tar/citrus elements. Quite memorable. Classy stuff!
