Casting a pale lemon-gold color, the 2019 Sigalas Rabaud hits the ground running with fabulously intense scents of tangerine peel, lemon marmalade, clover honey and paraffin wax plus suggestions of allspice, candied ginger and orange blossoms plus a waft of chalk dust. The palate is a blow-you-over, powerful expression, featuring condensed layers of citrus preserves, honey and spice notions with an unctuous texture and just enough freshness to balance, finishing with epic persistence. Impressive showing.

The 2019 Sigalas Rabaud is pointed and bright in feel. A Sauternes of energy more than volume, the 2019 offers up notes of lemon oil, white flowers, mint and light tropical accents. This is one of the more airy, perfumed wines of the year. The 2019 is restrained and a bit dry, but not bad.

The 2019 Sigalas Rabaud does not quite deliver the same precision on the nose as other Sauternes that I tasted. The palate is fresh and spicy with ginger and marmalade notes, moderate depth with a nicely poised, quite Barsac-like finish. Hopefully the aromatics will improve by the time of bottling.

Pineapple. crushed rock, vanilla, flowers and caramel on the nose and sweet, pineapple with a generous helping of honey and marmalade on the finish is what you will find here. 91-93 Pts

A layered, spicy, sweet Sauternes. Medium-to full-bodied and medium-sweet with a spicy, botrytis finish. Plenty of creme brulee at the end.
