Château Rieussec 1er Cru G.C.C. 1855 Sauternes 2006 bannockburn with strings of pearl beadA long period of ageing in small oak barrels was needed to round off this very powerful wine.

Great length on the palate matched with fruity freshness and vivacity, and a strong impression of honey and acacia blossom.
