Score 80/100 · Drink 1984, Robert Parker, Jan 1998
Somewhat dull and a trifle heavy, Rieussec's 1980 is a good, relatively rich, spicy, full-bodied wine revealing high acidity, some botrytis, and adequate flavor intensity. However, it is not one of the leaders in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-may be in decline. Last tasted, 3/84.
