Château Rieussec--Vintage 1997
Fargues (Sauternes), 1er cru classé
Offered in a carton
Tasting note: This wine contains an extremely high percentage of Semillon (usually about 90, which was to its benefit in 1997. The wine is light medium gold-colored, with a blockbuster nose of Grand Marnier liqueur intertwined with flower blossoms, smoky new oak, and coconut. Well-integrated wood has resulted in a seamless, full-bodied, unctuously-textured wine with considerable sweetness. This is a stunningly proportioned, beautifully pure wine. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2025. 91 points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate # 128 (Apr 2000)
