Chateau Rieussec Sauternes Carmes de Rieussec 2009

92 Points Wine Advocate Pale to medium gold colored, the 2009 Carmes de Rieussec opens with evolving honey-coated almonds, lemon pie and dried pineapple scents with hints of candied ginger, praline and cinnamon toast. Full-bodied and opulent in the mouth, it has compelling savory accents and just enough freshness to sustain the long, honey-nut finish.

90 Points James Suckling A thick and rich wine with honey, spice and dried mushroom. Full body, medium sweet, and a medium finish. Dense and straightforward. Drink now.
