Château Rieussec, Sauternes, 1er Cru Classé, 2011

93
Tasted by: Stephen Brook
Drinking Window: 2016 - 2050
Tasted from cask. With a muted nose, this is distinctly oaky now. Good attack, sleek and creamy, it may not be nuanced now but it has precision and drive, and complex flavours of ripe citrus and apricots. Very long, one with a lengthy future ahead of it.
