Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend

Deep amber color. Honey on the nose honey on the palate. Aged gracefully and drinking well

Deep gold. Notes of orange marmalade. Mouth filling full bodied palate finishing with refreshing cleansing acidity. Paired with Foie Gras which was a little too neutral and ended up being overpowered by the Rieussec. A marvellous wine at the top of its game.

Clean funk, lean sugars, beautiful balance, lingering acidity

1989: Clean. Very concentrated and rich. Creme Bruleé and apricots. Long pleasant nutty finish.

Fark...beautifully honeyed, apricot with burred caramelised edges. Such concentration on the palate. Thank you cork gods 🙏

You just have to love it! And while it does lack a boatload of almond cake and saffron aromas, instead it impresses by its sheer power, honeyed apricot fruits and enough acidity to let its spice-infused finish sail on.

Slightly brown core with mostly gold edges. Toasted caramel and toffee on nose. Grilled peaches, cocoa powder and dried apricots pop on the palate with a core of toffee and caramel. Lighter weight on finish lingers about 1 min.

Still youthful but delicious.

Moving back in time with a pretty classic Sauternes, honeysuckle, a little sherryish due to age, and almost a hint of mint on the back end.
