Château Rieussec

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend 2006

9.4

Initially reticent and needing 30 minutes of air to fully express itself aromatically, the 2006 Chateau Rieussec opens with a lighter bouquet of butterscotch, buttered popcorn, mango and ginger undertones. The palate shows really good freshness and intensity with a good sense of minerality. Pineapple creme brulee, poached pear, bananas foster and nutmeg flavors complete this beautiful wine. The exceedingly long, finish lingers and rounds out this complete wine. What this doesn’t possess on the nose, exceeds expectations on the palate and finish, as this elegant wine is one of the great wines of this vintage. Enjoy this wonderful wine over the next two decades. Drink 2020-2035- 94 — 6 years ago

Great note, thanks. Curious about the size? I’ve got a handful of the 375s.

@Martin Sher This is marvelous right now but will have a long life ahead of it regardless of 375 or 750👌

Sweet on the nose. Bananas foster, white pears. Smooth and light but with some oomph, still back hint of caramel but more melon and cantaloupe and some savory backbone I can’t identify. Good stuff. — 7 years ago

Dried apricots, honey, peach? On the nose. Lots of dried pineapple, caramel, vanilla bean and bananas foster on the palate. Leaves you with a little spice and a touch of acid. Terrific — 7 years ago

If it can’t be D’Yquem, that’s in the next tier alongside Rieussec and a select few others. Nice!

Tonight’s nightcap 🥃

Notes of honey, figs, and molasses on the nose; brings to mind a nice serving of bananas foster still aflame on the dinner table. On the palate smooth, balanced, and very expressive. This is a great Cognac without being a complete wallet buster. — 7 years ago

Fruit forward--cherries and red plum, faint spicines or note of cacao. Silky palate, long finish.

Bloody marvelous for $11 a bottle here in Washington, D.C. — 7 years ago
