Description

Two half bottles of this highly rated Sauternes. These halves are not currently available in the UK commercially.

A couple of favourable tasting notes:

“When to drink: 2000 to 2020 17.5/20
From halves and in fine fettle. Deep gold rather than the more usual tawny of Rieussec. Still tangy and lively with the freshness still masking the obvious richness. Jancis Robinson. Tasted: 28-Sep-2013.”

“Tasted at Lafite-Rothschild, the 1986 Rieussec put in a supremely confident performance and in fact, looked more youthful than the 1996. It has a focused and energetic bouquet with scents of dried honey, lychee and slightly resinous, almost Azsu-like aromas. After three decades you have to admire the undimmed energy conveyed by this Rieussec. The palate is fresh and lively, with crisp acidity, very energetic with hints of toffee apple and quince infusing the honeyed fruit. I prefer this to the 1996: there is more animation and tension from start to finish, impressive length and a spicy aftertaste. This is simply superb and begs the question: Is this actually improving in bottle? I attach a plus-sign to my score just in case! Tasted July 2016. Jan 2017, www.robertparker.com. Score: 93+/100. Neal Martin.”

I have had this wine in my cellar for more than 20 years, as part of a wooden case I bought from a London wine merchant. The bottles on sale are those in the photos. The levels are good for their age, just into the neck in both cases. The labels have started to peel slightly but are otherwise in decent condition, as are the capsules.
