Rieussec, Sauternes 2005 Sine Qua Non 90 points Robert Parker's Wine97 points Wine Advocate The 2005 Rieussec is a blend of 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle picked between 23 September and 27 October. It has a fabulous bouquet that is mineral rich and tensile. The palate repeats its performance from last year: focused, tense, laden with botrytis rich fruit with a crystalline and sorbet fresh finish that seals the deal. One of the best releases from the estate in recent years. (NM) (1 2017) 96 points
