2018 Château Rieussec

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

93 Points

Wednesday, September 7, 2022 - Already delicious and quite drinkable but very young, will age with grace over the next 30+ years so drink or hold but leaning strongly on the hold - see this eventually as a 95+ point wine. Definitely recommend and quite a good QPR wine at the average CT cost. Enjoyed in Helsinki at restaurant OLO as a dessert pairing with their higher end tasting and wine pairing menu. Full bodied, intense, warm, golden yellow, already well balanced and with a beautiful lengthy aftertaste and afterglow. Nose warm and tropical with nectarine, tangerine, honey and a more floral lilac finish. Flavor profile sweet but not at all cloyingly so and more fruit forward then the nose with orange, honey dew melon, apricot, mango and finishing with a hint of caramel. Archetypical excellent sauterne.
