RIEUSSEC OF THE FINE 1983 VINTAGE IN HALVES
Lying in Twickenham, Middlesex (EHD)
Château Rieussec--Vintage 1983
Fargues (Sauternes), 1er cru classé
Very good appearance. Levels into neck
In original wooden case
Tasting Note: 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. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Robert Parker. Bordeaux Book 3rd Edition (1998)
