CHÂTEAU RIEUSSEC Sauternes 'Les Carmes de Rieussec' 2014

The 2014 'Carmes de Rieussec' was aged in French oak for 18 months prior to bottling and is roughly 80% Semillon. Seductive and poised, this builds in the glass with wonderful aromatics of honeysuckle, white flowers, apricot jelly and pineapple. Showing a silky texture, the wine yields flavors of crème brûlée, bananas foster, pineapple, and honey all taking shape. This continues to impress with its soft, round texture and wonderful balance through the finish. (Best 2017-2028) - April, 2017 (OB)
