The 2016 Cappella is delicate

Petite Sirah (11%)

wafting from the glass in a superb blend of dark berries

but the Azpilicueta roots from 1881 are what gave it that prestige

Rieussec, Sauternes 2005 White The 2016 Cappella is delicate97 points Wine Advocate The 2005 Rieussec is a blend of 90% Semillon, 8% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Muscadelle picked between 23 September and 27 October. It has a fabulous bouquet that is mineral rich and tensile. The palate repeats its performance from last year: focused, tense, laden with botrytis rich fruit with a crystalline and sorbet fresh finish that seals the deal. One of the best releases from the estate in recent years. (NM) (1 2017) 96 points
