  September 6, 2013 - Strogeel. In de neus dacht ik Rieussec te herkennen. Abrikoos, ananas, honing, kardemon. In de mond erg kruidig en fris citrusfruit naast zoet rijp fruit, sinaasappel, ananas en honing, deed me wat meer aan Coteaux du Layon denken. 2e wijn van Rieussec, prima prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding, gewoon erg lekker!

  July 6, 2013 - Nicely balanced, with great acidity, viscosity, and sweetness. Lots of apricot, honey and peach. Great mouthfeel, with medium weight, and an incredibly balanced finish. Great wine for the price!

  December 25, 2012 - Cracking Sauternes with acidity, structure, viscosity and a luscious mouth-feel that initially had me thinking that it was the main wine.
  
  Beautiful gold colour with peaches, apricots and creme brulee and an awesome length. Hard to believe that this was sub £20!
