"The Carmes de Rieussec 2015 presents a pale to medium golden color, with lovely aromas of lemon meringue, orange marmalade, and apricot, along with a hint of musky perfume and candied ginger; the medium-bodied wine is rich in fruit flavors, with an enticing salty note and a touch of earthy character, blending with the candied citrus flavors, finishing very fresh with a long aftertaste."
