Description

TWO lots of FOUR bottles straight from an unopened wooden case.
All are in perfect original condition as, until recently, cellared under bond since release.

High praise from the winos as below:

98 points James Suckling
This is big and powerful with a dense and very sweet palate. Full of botrytis and spices, from cinnamon to cloves to nutmeg. The finish is nutty with more spices and orange peel. Very stunning. Why wait? This has a slight dried grape character from the hot vintage. 151 grams of RS. (5/2012)

92-95 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
Medium yellow-gold. Reticent but pure aromas of fruit salad, spices and vanilla, lifted by floral and mineral nuances. Wonderfully honeyed, fat fruit flavors are complemented by cinnamon, clove and nutmeg. The sexy oak treatment gives lift to the wine. A bit youthfully aggressive but very long on the back end, showing vanillin oak and a bit of warmth. But this one offers superb potential. (ST) (7/2005)

95 points Wine Spectator
*Collectibles* Big, rich and juicy. Voluptuous, with aromas of caramel, apple and light tropical fruit. Full-bodied, round and very sweet, with loads of ripe fruit and a long butterscotch and piecrust aftertaste. Viscous texture. Hard not to drink it now. A wonderful sticky. Best after 2010. (JS) (12/2006)

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Rieussec ‘03 has a strong Barsac like aromas -- marmalade, quince, vanilla and coconut aromas that unfold nicely in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a ripe candied, orange peel and dried mango entry. The oak, always a little more prominent at this address, is nicely integrated and the acidity well-judged, although it does not fan out as I was hoping it would on the finish. (NM) (6/2013)

Decanter
Rich, golden hue, this is a sweet, opulent, 'open' style of wine that can already please. Aromatically complex, the notes of candied fruit, wax and fruit drops perhaps define the heat of the year. Full, fat and unctuous on the palate, there's a luscious ease to this wine. Drink up to 2028. 18/20 points. (3/2009)
