Score 82/100 · Drink 1986, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

A maligned vintage for the sweet white wines of Bordeaux, Rieussec has, through a very strict selection process, turned out a lovely, fruity, spicy, lighter-styled wine with medium body and delicate tropical fruit flavors. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/86.
