Intensives Gelb mit lindengrünem Schimmer. Unglaublich traubiges Bouquet, parfümiertes Nasenbild mit frisch gepflückten Aprikosen, burgundisches Vanillin, tänzerisch in der Nase und absolut rein. Glockenklarer Gaumenbeginn, in der Säure fast Granny-Smithnoten zeigend, weisse Nektarinen, gebundene, cremige Süsse, unglaublich lang. Gabriels-Spontannotiz: «Der beste Rieussec meines Lebens!» warten (2015 - 2040)

Tasted single blind against its peers. The Chateau Rieussec 2008 should become an excellent Sauternes for the vintage. It has a floral bouquet with peach, tinned apricot and a touch of marmalade, all with fine delineation, and touches of lemon curd developing with aeration. The palate is mellifluous on the entry, with great depth and a luscious, vanillary note with hints of orange peel, marmalade and quince towards the long finish. Excellent. Tasted January 2012.

This cuts a broad swath, with dense fig, piecrust, green almond and golden raisin notes held together by ginger cream and tarte Tatin notes. The long, creamy finish lets a coconut milk hint check in. One for the cellar. Best from 2014 through 2025.
