BUY THE WINE

Michael Schuster: Mid-gold; fresh and sweet and gently citrusy to smell; a full, supple to fresh sauternes; intensely sweet, rich, succulent, gently botrytis racy, and with excellent length; but lacking the aromatic dimension of the best of the year, and of the cru’s potential; a very good, rather than a top Rieussec. 92–93
