Community Tasting Note

• rmalloy Likes this wine: 95 points

  February 12, 2016 - A great wine. Weighty but elegant. Nose of honey, orange blossom, apricot, saffron, and wax. It has great weight, but it doesn't taste cloying or viscous. It is intensely flavorful and powerful on the finish. I agree with other reviewers in that I would prefer more acidity. The acidity in this wine is good and balanced, but it lacks high-register fireworks. I would guess, giving my tastes, that I would prefer this wine 20 years from now.

  2/13/16, 9:54 AM - I totally agree about the lacking acidity, this could use some more zest! This wine is a bit overrated with critics IMHO but than again Rieussec rarely have the acidity of Barsac wines, i.e. Climens, which always outshines most wines, apart from Yquem...
