Score 86/100 · Drink 1986, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

One of the top 1981s, Rieussec must certainly be among the best Sauternes of this vintage. A very fragrant, spicy, richly fruity bouquet intermingled with scents of apricots and melted butter is top class. On the palate, the wine is well balanced, fairly big and rich, and already showing well. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/86.
