  Superb flavors w/either a slice of Rocquefort or some dark chocolate. Lots of life left but given wife's thumbs up, remaining blts. won't last long.
  A little goes a long way. Savor each drop!

  Great dessert wines are one of life’s secret pleasures. Not enough people seem to try them all the better for those of us that do regularly. Whilst this wine is everything you would expect with powerful dry fruits on the nose, a really clear deep amber colour in the bottle, in the mouth it is so intense and unctuous with amazing length .
  I prefer something with just a little more lift and some freshness, rather less cloying but you certainly not be complaining.
  Over 2 nights my wife drank most of this 375ml and I most of the Doisy-Daene 2011

  Pale gold; initial whiff of oyster shell, medicinal, later flourishes; rich, old school Rieussec, real depth; powerful, intense finish. Better in 3-5 years.

  Normally I find Rieussec a bit austere/“sharp” - not this one - well-rounded, good acidity, tasty, flavours; really likeable
