2001 Sigalas Rabaud - Sauternes Barsac, Bordeaux, France

2007 April - Beautiful aromatic nose: peer, peach, beeswax, almond. The palate opens gradually to a round and fruity texture. Good midpalate balance with a bitter orange finish. I found it a little lightweight, with excessive alcohol content and overall a too straight forward. 2001 Sigalas Rabaud was differently appreciated among the tasters and it shows through its high standard deviation value!

2002 Sigalas Rabaud - Sauternes Barsac, Bordeaux, France

2002 Sigalas Rabaud has a pale yellow with a greenish glint on the edge. Delicate floral aromas with quince paste, mocha and a caramelized flavours. 2002 Sigalas Rabaud is well balanced with a finely engraved body. The wood is a bit dominant at this stage. Interesting freshness and beautiful persistence on the finish. I would wait a couple of years to open the next 2002 Sigalas Rabaud. 89/100
