Wine Advocate
“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. (RP)” (12/1997)

Jancis Robinson
“Already tawny. Lively, very sweet, but not cloying. Strong orange flavours, medium weight and still admirably fresh. 18/20 points (JR)” (03/2008)
