This has unctuous texture and remains a touch rambunctious, with crystalized ginger, peach, apricot and quince flavors that have yet to meld fully. Should come together given ample time. Really solid. Best from 2018 through 2038. Score: 95 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2018-2038 Date: 14 January 2016 |

Still youthfully rambunctious, balanced by a terrific core of peach, apricot, mango and toasted almond flavors, with crystalized ginger, tangerine and quince notes. The long finish delivers serious power and freshness. Tasted non-blind. Score: 93 - 96 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator Date: 01 April 2014 |

The grand vin from Chateau Rieussec is a blend of 95.5% Semillon and 4.5% Sauvignon Blanc picked between September 26 and October 31 over four tries through the vineyard (although some blocks took more than that). The nose is a little closed at the moment, with light honey and a touch of marmalade. The palate is very well-balanced, very tense and focused with superb mineralite toward the lightly viscous finish. This is a classy number, a pretty Rieussec in the making.

This has masses of bortrytis-spice character. It’s full but balanced and intense, with loads of dried-fruit character and a spicy, intense finish. Superb. I like the sweet-savory character. Score: 95 - 96 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Date: 01 April 2014 |

Closed nose. White fruits and a bit of floral perfume on the palate. Bright acidity, good length. This has stature and complexity – but has a long way to go to flourish fully. (17+) Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, Richard Hemming, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2016-2026 Date: 01 April 2014 |

Harmonious, well-integrated sweetness and lovely floral and dried mango notes. Linear profile and purity without any heaviness. Score: 93 Decanter, Decanter.com Maturity: 2019-2027 Date: 01 April 2014 |
