Château Sigalas Rabaud Sauternes 375ml

Though Sigalas-Rabaud 2010 was extremely promising out-of-barrel, I never expected that it would trump dsYquem in a blind tasting once in bottle. It has an engaging, pure and lifted bouquet with scents of lemon curd, honey, ripe oranges and quince that are extremely well-defined. The palate is well-defined with a fine line of acidity, crisp minerality and tension. Yet the class is already tangible. This is one of the best wines from the estate in recent years.
