Today I went to my wine cellar and very surprisingly did not come out with a bottle of PORT, but a bottle of the second wine of Rieussec, Les Carmes de Rieussec which is labeled differently in other countries, such as Switzerland, where it is labeled as Chateau du Cosse (it took me quiete a while to figure this...)
Anyways a decent bottle of Sauternes is something which I did not enjoy for quiete some time, knowing that there are better ones than this out there.
I am looking forward to this bottle in a bit and will post a TN in a while.
So, my advice for the night: let's get out the Sauternes tonight and enjoy them.

A decent golden colour, very viscous liquid. The nose is buttery with lots of citrus-fruit smells. Good fat with very good intensity. Yummy!
The palate is exactly as the nose promises: concentrated, very tasty honey with a very good fruity note.
A very good value for the price and still some years to come.
