    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Château Rieussec, 1er Cru Classé, Sauternes, 2007

    A fine elegant nose, more withdrawn than most; weighty on the palate and tight at the core, with layers of succulent sweetness, apple pie and citrus, white pepper and lively acidity, very clean and stylish with a fine texture on the finish and excellent balance. Very good.

    The 2010 Rieussec is slightly more backwards on the nose. It is very focused with almond, saffron, orange pith and dried honey aromas that gain intensity with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with a harmonious entry. Impressive depth with lovely vanillary new oak, it is long and pure towards the finish. A Sauternes with pedigree. Superb. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.
