White Bordeaux Blend

1989 Rieussec
93

After a period of prolonged disjointedness, this wine has pulled itself together. The color is deep straw, and the wine displays an intense perfume of creme brulee, baked apple, and sweet, ripe pineapples and pears. full-bodied, rich alcoholic and fat, with low acidity and considerable sweetness, this is a luxuriously rich, unctuously-textured, heavyweight Sauternes that should become more civilized with age.

What a delicious bottle! This had a racy, wild character. It was briery, brambly ,and seductive. I wanted to open a second bottle it was so intesting, showing just how lovely temperanillo can exhibit earthiness and exotic fruit.

Remarkably refined and elegant, this champagne rose is an extraordinary example of how roses should be made. A delicate and refined nose of discreet red fruits, hints of white flowers, nuts and delicate spice. Beautifully structured acidity combined with moderate "creaminess" makes it enjoyable glass after glass. Still good to hold on to as it is still has some tightness and seems to be hiding something. Incredible mousse and very delicate beads.
