Product description equilibrium (about three weeks), the nature of Country France Region Bordeaux Sub Region Sauternes Colour/Style Sweet Grape Varieties Muscadelle, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc Drinking Guide Drink now until 2040 ABV 13.5% The team at Chateau Rieussec have conjured a stellar wine in 2009. There is a little reduction at first that fortunately blows away, revealing thickly layered scents of honey, Danish pastry and quince that appear to gain vigor with every passing sip. The palate is stunning: very viscous in the mouth with tangy grapefruit, honey and white peach. It is still primal, but the acidity is perfectly judged and there is a life-affirming sense of precision and tension towards the finish. Exceptional.
