Note di degustazione
The 2016 Rieussec is very well focused, with wild honey, acacia, saffron and beeswax scents that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is well balanced, with plenty of weight. Maybe it needs a little more race and acidic bite towards the finish, with a touch of toffee apple on the aftertaste. Just a delicious Sauternes. Tasted blind at the Southwold 10-Year-On tasting.

The 2016 Rieussec has plenty of botrytis on the nose, along with scents of honey, white peach, saffron, lanolin and walnut that gain intensity with aeration. The very well balanced palate presents a viscous opening and a fine bead of acidity. Generous and poised, with hints of marzipan and Turkish Delight decorating the finish. Excellent. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.
Tasted blind. Coconut nose, maybe a bit too much. Hot end. Not quite integrated. And a bit hot. (JR)
