Château Rieussec 1996

Tasting notes

This is one of the appellation's richest and most opulent wines. Extremely fruity with notes of subtle spices and vanilla, it is remarkably complex.

"The nose is quite mature with burnt toffee, mandarin and barley sugar scents, quite perfumed and intense, although I suggest lacking the class and precision of more recent vintages. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, viscous on the entry with acacia honey, red plums, a hint of marzipan and a dash of spice towards the finish. There is good body here, fine persistence, even if it lacks the finesse of more recent vintages."
