Château Rieussec--Vintage 2001
Fargues (Sauternes), 1er cru classé. Château-bottled
In original wooden case
Tasting note: A monumental effort, the 2001 Rieussec boasts a light to medium gold color in addition to a fabulous perfume of honeysuckle, smoky oak, caramelized tropical fruits, crême brulée, and Grand Marnier. The wine is massive and full-bodied yet neither over the top nor heavy because of good acidity. With intense botrytis as well as a 70-75-second finish, this amazing Sauternes will be its apogee between 2010-2035. Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, Issue 154 (June 2004)
