2nd wine of the 1st Classified Growth, Chteau Rieussac

Intense nose with beautiful aromatic complexity. Mellow, slightly minty notes promise good balance. On aeration, notes of rhubarb tart and a hint of dried apricots develop. The palate is well balanced with the wines freshness underscored by a pleasant acidity. There are notes of dried fig accompanied again by dried apricot. Subtly toasted oaky notes contribute to the wines roundness and smoothness. A freshly-struck-match minerality accompanies the wine for its entire length.
