The 1969 Rivesaltes has a more slender bouquet than the 1971 or 1972, not quite delivering the same degree of complexity and nuance. The palate is tangy on the entry and probably better than the aromatics. There’s a nice edginess here, with notes of orange rind and marmalade. Quite elegant and persistent towards the finish, this is another delicious Rivesaltes that just gives so much pleasure. Drink 2025-2038.
Lightly cheesy and very smooth but this finishes very refreshing! A little chewy on the long finish. (JR)
Pale copperish tawny colour. This has high rancio tones of marzipan, acacia, dried currants and cinnamon. Complex with the same wild tones following on the palate, it shows white pepper, more cinnamon and marzipan with high tones of dried flowers. Long and complex, the nutty tones on the finish add a tang that coats the residual sweetness.
