Score 84/100 · Drink 1984, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

A lightweight Rieussec that does not have the intensity and richness of vintages such as 1981 or 1983, it does offer an elegant, well-made, less powerful wine that is light enough to be served as an aperitif. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/84.
