An astounding sticky, nose of candied melon. Liquid pear and peach extract delivered on clouds framed by whispers of lemon and lime zest. Among the best Sauternes I’ve had, and the stuffing to improve for at least 10 years. Thanks, John @tavernsquare, brilliant as ever!

Powerful & thx to my homeboy for opening- I remember when it was a wee sauterne, now such a big boy. Roast pineapple, bass notes of Spanish peaches ( yup, eating them now & they are different), treble notes of mature kiwi etc.?.

Great complexity and intensity. The lack of acidity makes this #sauternes a touch cloying. Plenty of life left. #chateaurieussec #bordeaux #ctbucklinwine

Trying to come up with more flattering analogies but all I can think of is pineapple juice and piña coladas... Really don't like the modern Rieussecs. Seriously middle-of-the-road; like recycled episodes of the Simpsons on Dave.
