Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve | Three tastings and three magnificent samples, with the bright fruit and the length of which legendary vintages are made. | 97

Michael Schuster | Markedly oaky to smell; medium-full wine with a fresh acidity; sweet, moderately rich, moderately complex flavor, nicely sustained across the palate if slightly less so on the finish, where it just tails off a bit, and I’m not sure why. A good but not special Rieussec. | 89–91
