WTN: Sweet Tooth = 2005 Rieussec

by David M. Bueker » Sun Aug 15, 2010 11:16 am

Had a bit of a sweet tooth last night after dinner, so I popped a 375 ml of the 2005 Chateau Rieussec (Sauternes) in the fridge for a low fat treat.

It's still quite open & rather fat, with lots of coconut, honey, marzipan and spice notes. A small glass will cure just about any sweet tooth, and leave more for another evening. The wine is rather rich, even for a Sauternes, so if I can keep my hands off of the stuff I will give several bottles the benefit of significant age.
