August 31, 2023 - Very deep golden color as expected.
Very intense and developed aromas, typical orange marmelade, ginger, crème brûlée.
Medium to full body, unashamedly sweet but not too much, flavours of abricot and orange marmalade, burnt crème brûlée, some toffees.
Very enveloping, long and intense. Doesn’t have the delicacy of other barsac but still very nice, developed and ready Sauternes. -

August 24, 2023 - Half-bottle. 14% ABV. Medium to deep amber-golden colour. Dried fruit, ripe apricot, kumquat, orange marmalade, orange peel, burned caramel, brown butter, spice notes, and a notable amount of VA, with good acidity, a creamy texture, and very good length. The 1995 is not the most complex vintage for Rieussec, and certainly not on the same level as the striking 2005 or 2007, but it has good concentration, shows good balance, has decent botrytis character, and is easy to like.

January 6, 2022 - Rich Baltic amber color, at 26 years of age, this no longer qualifies as "sweet" or a "dessert wine." The acidity and savoriness have come to the forefront, and this is now a profound wine of meditation, that can be enjoyed with scallops, cheeses, or on its own.
