2006. Color deeper than expected, very light as a barsac at the beginning which I love, coconut nose not overly sweet. Next day the Sauternes sweetness really showed without good acidity to balance, thus no complexity. Text book Sauternes, buy. — 12 years ago
Has years ahead of it. Quite light in style for a Rieussec - almost Barsac-like. Nice. — 12 years ago
Quince like nose, very tropical at first. It truly need oxygen. The mouthfeel is Barsac-like, on a austere vintage. Torrent of melon,cantaloupe marmalade, cavaillon over ripe melon. The name is spot on: Quintessencial ! — 12 years ago
1975. Easily wotn. Almond, shredded coconut, hints of stone fruit. Barsac's lower sweetness suits me very well. Only complain a bit short. Buy. — 12 years ago

My birth wine. Aged beautifully with a port like ruby color that is slightly losing its luster. Once you taste it, it's heaven on earth. Exactly like me :-) — 11 years ago
