OMG. This is amazing. This is the new 2001. Incredible purity of botrytis and ripeness. Full-on. So driven and precise. Full-bodied, very sweet and electrified. Pineapple jam and mangoes - endless tropical fruits. This ends very clean and is almost tannic on the finish. A truly great Sauternes. Energy. Drink or hold."
Pale gold. Intense aroma of almond paste. Golden and spicy. Chewy, spicy and golden on the palate, too. A big wine, the grip in the texture accentuating the freshness. More power than elegance. But great intensity."
Intense and lifted, excellent quality, this has clear depth of flavour, bitter orange, marmalade, saffran, white pepper, cirus, truffle and lime zest, all stretching out through the palate."
The Château Rieussec 2014 is a blend of 93% Semillon, 5% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle, picked from 15 to 29 October through seven tries, the yield half the normal crop at 13 hectoliters per hectare. Charles Chevalier, how lest we forget started here and not chez Lafite, told me that the beginning of September had overripe grapes with passerillage - the second part had very good levels of botrytis. The blend is from these two parts. The bouquet is very well defined with crystal clear honeysuckle and white peach scents. The palate is beautifully balanced with nigh on perfect acidity that makes this seem just so…effortless. I would like to see a little more persistence on the finish, but otherwise this is classic Rieussec that might...and I stress might...just give that Sauternes beginning with the 25th letter of the alphabet, a run for its money."
Refined nose of nectarine, peach, crystallised ginger and sweet spices. Layered, intense and suave, with long-lasting flavours of ginger, sweet spices and tropical fruits. Very harmonious: a standout Rieussec."
Fresh, vibrant, and floral, the honey-coated apricots, roasted pineapple, candied orange rind, lemon curd, caramel, and vanilla nuances already shine through in the nose and on the rich, lusciously, sweet, vivacious, racy palate. With another decade of age, this should really begin to shine."
Pale straw-gold in color, the 2014 Rieussec sashays out with showy notes of honeydew melon, poached pears, and acacia honey followed by nuances of nutmeg and saffron. The palate is seductively rich, with just enough freshness and a decadent finish."
Mitteldunkles Gelb, somit recht intensiv, leuchtender Rand. Sehr traubiges Bouquet, helle Sultaninen, gekochte Nektarinen, Pektinnoten, dezent leimig im Untergrund. Im Gaumen mit einer ausgeprägten Süsse, wirkt dabei aber schön saftig. Er ist jetzt schon wunderschön und hat irgendwie schon einen kommerziellen Touch in seiner Gefälligkeit. Aufgrund der Erfahrung mit früheren Jahrgängen bin ich mit dem Alterungspotential sehr vorsichtig geworden. Gefiel aber allen Degustatoren durchs Band."
This rich, impressive wine is full of ripe fruit and balanced acidity. It has intensity, sweetness and botrytis rich enough to lend a dry core. Drink from 2022."
