2011 Ch. Rabaud-Promis, Sauternes

Ch. Rabaud-Promis, Sauternes
Less successful than in the past two vintages. Intense pineapple and marmalade notes with fresh acidity. Focused, balanced and well-made with good length.
(4/5 Stars - Decanter – Bordeaux 2011 coverage – April 2012)

Ch. Rabaud-Promis, Sauternes
Picked from the September 15-30 over two tries and cropped at 9.5 hectoliters per hectare, the stunning 2011 Rabaud Promis has a more delicate, feminine nose than its peers, unfurling teasingly with enticing, pure apricot and quince aromas. The palate is rounded and sweet on the entry with very good weight and an utterly seductive essence of purity.

It simply caresses the mouth and builds gradually to a beautifully composed finish. This is a superb 2011 Sauternes that comes highly recommended, perhaps as fine as the 1988 or 2001.

Ch. Rabaud-Promis, Sauternes
Still quite youthful, with a light yeasty edge that needs to be absorbed, but there's unctuous apricot, orange peel, fig, date and persimmon notes and a long, dried tangerine-filled finish. Backward, but the pieces are there.
