Tasting note
This sweet and fruity white displays a complex and intense nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity and unctuous texture precede a long finish.
91-93 pts, Wine Advocate The 2011 Rieussec has a lifted, at the moment quite oaky, bouquet with scents of honey, almond and pineapple. Hopefully it will develop more definition by the time of bottling. The palate is medium-bodied with tropical fruit and mandarin on the entry and a satisfying viscous core of honeyed fruit. It seems a little disjointed towards the finish, although I am sure it will become more cohesive by the time of bottling. For me, it just seems a little predictable. Drink 2015-2028+. *Available quantity released on October 4, 2014 and updated once daily.*
