1959 Chateau Rieussec, Sauternes, France

2017 private dinner (Scharzhof, Wiltingen, Germany): Very top shoulder level. Monumental. Not unlike an old Grande Champagne Cognac on the nose. Magnificent botrytis and power, honey, strawberries and cream, everything in place, concentrated and powerful, caramel, resinous oak, big and strong, sève and richness, never ending finish. 96pts
