Chateau Rieussec 2003

• Tasting Notes:
  
  This vintage has a vibrant, yellow-golden hue which has some promise. It certainly has plenty of youthful character on the nose, which has a floral edge to the honey and pepper-spiced fruit. Deliciously fresh and creamy on the palate, rich, deeply concentrated, with a forceful structure beneath it all. Hugely characterful flavour too. Lots of creamy-oily botrytis in evidence too. Quite grippy. Slightly low acidity, but this still has an adequate structure and backbone. This is impressive wine indeed.
