WTN: 1988 Chateau Rieussec Sauternes

This wine is absolutely stunning. Brilliant gold color. Complex aromas dominated by peony and honeysuckle. Sweet, perfectly balanced flavors that dance on the palate. A balanced finish that goes on and on and compels you to take another sip. I have had only one Sauternes that was better than this, and that was a D'Yquem from a top vintage.

Triple curly with an extra woo!

You are really digging into the late '80s Sauternes.
