Chateau Rieusse Sauternes 2005 Reviews and Comments by Cheung R.

Chrysatimum, apricot, cream bulee, honey, marmalade, grained coffee. Sweet long finish, with good acidity to keep it fresh and uplifting.

Solid dark core with ruby red rim. Enchanting nose with great terroir scents, graphite, black currants, autumn leaf, hint of green, magnetic feel. Masculine mouth feel, good balance as always. Dry leather, sweet red fruits, pipe tobacco, stone, minerals. Tannins a bit dry and edgy, can still age. Good finish of cigar box, dried fruits.
Chateau Kirwan 2003 6 days ago

Clear ruby red. Ripe berries, espresso bean, incense, mushroom, mint and some oak. Medium bodied, soft, plush mouth feel, black fruits, forest floor, concentrated plum juice. Soft tannins, noticeable, but round and well integrated. Some bitter cocoa bean in the back end, smoke, oak, red cherry finish. Medium finish. Still quite fruity, fwd, but pleasant

Young, dark core with ruby rim. Medium plus bodies. Fresh, energetic aromas of purple fruits, flowers, sweet ripe currants, licorice, oak, mint, incense, crushed tobacco leaf. Very nice. Plum sauce, tobacco, licorice, blackberry, forest floor, orange zest. A bit tight, coaxing for aromas. On the palate, muddy notes. Wall of tannins, somewhat dry and edgy, not very smooth or balanced. Explosive tannins, firm Sense of bitterness towards the back end, not very enjoyable. Strong, masculine structure, unyielding
