Château Rieussec 1983 is a mature-vintage sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Château Rieussec consistently shines as one of the most renowned names in Sauternes, and it is often considered the second-best wine of the appellation, following Château d`Yquem. "Already tawny. Lively, very sweet, but not cloying. Strong orange flavours, medium weight and still admirably fresh." Jancis Robinson MW, 2008

Light golden with just the slightest tint of green, the 1983 Rieussec, from an excellent year for Sauternes, is certainly one of this property's greatest wines. Well structured with excellent acidity, and a deep, long, rich, full-bodied, viscous texture, this wine, despite the richness and power, is neither heavy nor cloying. It has gorgeous balance and a very long, lingering, spectacular finish. One of the great successes of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2005. Last tasted, 3/88.Robert Parker1st January 1998
