"Chateau Rieussec 2010 has a faint aroma of honeyed fruit, peony, and cream puff."The palate is balanced, with a viscous mouthfeel, harmoniously balancing the flavors of blood orange and papaya, creating a stable and elegant finish.This is a delightful Chateau Rieussec, which may be even more appreciated when young.
