Score 93/100 · Drink 2016-2032, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, Mar 2016

The 1957 Rivesaltes from Domaine La Sobilane is noticeably darker in color than coeval vintages. The bouquet is a little smudged, but gains some clarity in the glass: burnt toffee, walnut, just a touch of volatility and a light sea spray influence. The palate is medium-bodied with marmalade, stem ginger, rhubarb and white pepper, well poised with a long tail on the finish. The ranks alongside the excellent 1956.

Bottled 2015. Very pale tawny. Old Grenache, lacks a bit of freshness but it has got good acid/sugar balance. Really vital. Almond. This would be great with cheese! (JR)
