2006 Château Rieussec

Community Tasting Note

91 Points

Saturday, July 26, 2014 - From a 375. Light golden color; nose has good intensity, good botrytis with baking spices, white fruit; palate has full body, some youthful tropical fruit, fades through the midpalate a bit, nice balanced sweetness but richer style; finish is medium length. Still youthful, headed towards early notes of maturity, classic Rieussec style with good density and decent complexity, but lacks the persistence of the best vintages. 90-91
Day 2: Consistent with past note: just starting its transition from youth to teenage adolescence and made in a denser classic Rieussec style with slightly less persistence compared to better vintages. Still an excellent value for this off vintage and much better balanced than the 2004 Rieussec.
