Chateau Rieussec 2005 Sauternes (75cl)

A 2005 Sauternes from Chateau Rieussec. Sauternes of this kind usually gains its rich, honeyed character from botrytis-affected grapes, and two decades in bottle typically add dried fruit and waxy complexity. It works well as a dessert wine at the end of a meal. Typically shows dried apricot, honey and marmalade, with natural acidity keeping the sweetness in balance.
