Rieussec Sauternes- 2003 (375ml) Normandy Distilled on April 15thA monumental effort, the 2001 Rieussec boasts a light to medium gold color in addition to a fabulous perfume of honeysuckle, smoky oak, caramelized tropical fruits, creme brulee, and Grand Marnier. The wine is massive and full bodied yet neither over the top nor heavy because of good acidity. With intense botrytis as well as a 70 75 second finish, this amazing Sauternes will be its apogee between 2010 2035. Robert Parker 99 points
