Deep ruby in color.  The nose has light cherries and spice.  Much better on the palate.  Complex layers of cherries and earth.  Also some black cherries.  Drinking well.  Long finish.

B+

Light gold in color.  The nose is very tight at first.  With air, slight pineapple and slight simple syrup.  On the palate, this is a bit flabby.  Thinner in texture.  Slight minty note.  Slight melons.  OK on the finish.  Not as good as prior Rieslings from this producer.  It is a solid Riesling but a bit more cut would be nice.  

2005 Château Rieussec, France, Bordeaux, Sauternes, Wine Review

Golden in color.  The nose has orange peel and honey.  Just gorgeous. On the palate, this is amazing.  The orange peel carries thru along with some orange and apricot.  Great acidity that cuts thru the sweetness.  It is sweet, just right.  Complex and deep.  Long, long finish.  Drinking quite well right now, but no hurry.  Just a lovely wine.
