Rieussec 2011

Rieussec 2011

Rieussec 2011. Normalt drikkes Sauternes alene som en dessert i sig selv, men vinen smager også fremragende sammen med frugtkager, milde oste eller til en Fois Gras terrine som en forret.

Robert Parker: 95 point.

Robert Parker: “The 2011 Rieussec, a blend of 95% Semillon, 2% Sauvignon Blanc and 3% Muscadelle is an absolute dream. There is wonderful precision and mineralité on the nose, the new oak more integrated than a few months ago. The palate is beautifully balanced with clear honey, brioche and pralines, a sensual Rieussec that is utterly charming, hints of nougat and almond lingering on the long finish. Gorgeous! Tasted April 2016.”

Wine Spectator: 96 point.

Wine Spectator: “Intense, with ginger, yellow apple chutney, dried pineapple and papaya flavors coursing through a finish that brims with singed almond and lemon chiffon flavors. This retains a touch of youthful rawness, featuring a bitter orange note that’s yet to be absorbed. No need to rush. Best from 2018 through 2040.”

James Suckling: ”

This shows incredible freshness and power, with dried pineapples, mangoes and papayas. Full body, medium-sweet with electrifying acidity. Vibrates your palate.”
