A Break for Sauternes
Stored by a wine professional: Sauternes from a benchmark vintage.
Château Rieussec--Vintage 2001
Fargues (Sauternes), 1er cru classé
"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, creme brulee, 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, Wine Advocate # 153 Jun 2004
