Château Rabaud Promis – Sauternes 2009

Beschrijving

Een prachtige blend van Muscadelle, Sauvignon Blanc en Sémillon. Hieronder een aantal proefnotieties van toonaangevende recensenten;

“The 2009 Rabaud-Promis has a pale to medium gold color and nutty nose with straw, dried apples and tea notes. The palate is mature, very sweet and rich with nice freshness and a savory finish.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

“Dense with powerful aromas and flavors of dried mushroom, spices and pineapple. Medium sweet. Full body yet racy and fresh due to intense acidity. Medium finish. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling

“Deep coppery gold. Crème pâtissière nose. Round and opulent. With some good concentrated pear-juice notes. Good savour – refreshing.” – Jancis Robinson

“The 2009 Rabaud-Promis is quite deep in colour, though not alarmingly so. The nose feels rather subdued compared to its peers with scents of mandarin and quince, though it needs more precision. The palate is fresh and viscous on the entry. Clementine, honey, brown sugar and light quince notes lead to a precise and persistent finish. This Sauternes comes highly recommended. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting.” – Vinous

“Sliced pear and apple, with honey and spices. Full-bodied, with apple pie and honey flavors and a pretty finish.” – Wine Spectator
