Château Rieussec vintage 1997
Sauternes, 1er Cru Classé
96/100 points Robert Parker
91/100 points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
Lying in Hong-Kong
12 bottles in carton
Tasting Note: “This wine contains an extremely high
percentage of Semillon (usually about 90%), which was to
its benefit in 1997. The wine is light medium goldcoloured,
with a blockbuster nose of Grand Marnier
liqueur intertwined with flower blossoms, smoky new oak,
and coconut. Well-integrated wood has resulted in a
seamless, full-bodied, unctuously-textured wine with
considerable sweetness. This is a stunningly proportioned,
beautifully pure wine. Anticipated maturity: 2002-
2025.” - 91 points, Robert Parker´s The Wine Advocate
