  (RIEUSSEC) Rieussec Dear Friends, I've had a propensity toward sweet wines lately (maybe it's the dank Parisian spring (winter?) that has me huddled by the fire in need of dessert wine) but this wine simply cannot be topped for quality and value. You can downplay 2003 all you want but I'm not sure why? If you are into Sauternes and are looking for something to enjoy over the next decade (to avoid the sacrifice of your precious 2001s), I cannot think of a better price/value star than this. It delivers all the secondary quality that this estate has become synonymous with (plus an extra layer of exotic fruit) for a fraction of the 2001's price. Chateau Rieussec has elevated their status to just below that of Yquem and their 2001 is evidence of how far they've come since the 1970s. The 2003 is nearly the equal of Yquem - if you taste both wines blind, my guess is that half of you will prefer the Rieussec and it's price cannot be topped (Parker actually rated the Rieussec higher). This parcel has arrived directly from Bordeaux with the finest provenance available (it is not a pre-arrival) - it will be available for local pick up in a few weeks (early May due to posting laws). HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 2003 Chateau Rieussec Sauternes 375ml Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Bord8731
