Château Rieussec--Vintage 1986
Fargues (Sauternes), 1er cru classé
"This is a stunningly complex and elegant wine, but it is less muscular as well as less fat than either the 1983 or 1989. There are plenty of smoky almonds, peaches, and honeyed apricot fruit in the nose and flavors. In the mouth, the wine has a certain elegance, and perhaps not quite the punch one normally expects from Rieussec. Nevertheless, it is still a compelling Sauternes that should age magnificently. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 11/90." Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition (1998)
