Château Rieussec--Vintage 1989
Fargues (Sauternes), 1er cru classé
In original wooden cases
Tasting Note: After a period of prolonged disjointedness, this wine has pulled itself together. The colour is deep straw, and the wine displays an intense perfume of crème brûlée custard, baked apple pie, and sweet, ripe pineapples and pears. Full-bodied, rich, alcoholic, and fat, with low acidity and considerable sweetness, this is a luxuriously rich, unctuously-textured, heavyweight Sauternes that should become more civilized with age. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2025. Last tasted 11/97 Robert Parker, Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition 1998.
