Chateau Rieussec Sauternes 2005

Category:

Dessert Wine from Bordeaux, France

Tasting Notes

Beautiful intense golden color. Pleasantly fresh, showing jammy notes and candied fruit (apricots, figs). Round and smooth on the palate, with candied notes and a long finish.

Wine Spectator – 96 Points

Shows enticing aromas of toffee, cream, dried apricot and caramel. Full-bodied, very sweet and thick, with honey and caramel flavors. Long and rich, oozing with sweet, ripe fruit, this is like liquid candy. Best after 2016.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with roasted chicken, veal, and pork dishes that are either spicy or prepared with a touch of sweetness.
