2001 Chateau Rieussec Sauternes 375ml

(100 Points) Like lemon curd on the nose, turning to honey and caramel. Full-bodied and very sweet, with fantastic concentration of ripe and botrytized fruit, yet balanced and refined. Electric acidity. Lasts for minutes on the palate. This is absolutely mind-blowing. This is the greatest young Sauternes I have ever tasted. Best after 2010. 12,500 cases made. –JS Wine Spectator Issue: Sep 15, 2004 Top 100: 2004, Rank: 1
