Sigalas Rabaud 2021 (375ML)

98-99 JS / 96 JA / 94 DE / 17.5 JR

This is intense and compact with lots of mushroom, ginseng, lemon grass, dried lemon peel, tangerine, clove and white chocolate. Green mango, too. Complex and layered. Sweet, but with a savory edge and fantastic freshness. The sweetness is hidden by the botrytis power. Extremely long. - James Suckling

Push and pull through the palate, buidling a sense of contrast and momentum, juicy and rich texture, this is powerful, with apricot puree, white truffles, grilled almonds, citrus and peach flesh. Excellent grip though the palate. - Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

Lively and exciting on the palate, this has energy and so much appeal in the delivery of sugary sweetness, lemon zest and spiced edges. I love the playful nature, it's quite linear and direct at the moment, less expansive than some others, taut and focused but with good power, direction and detail. Will be nice to retaste in bottle. Drinking Window 2025 - 2046 - GH, Decanter

Deep copper. Rich and that preserved-meat/salami note again that I detected on the Doisy-Daëne 2021. Really fresh and captivating. Dense and almost electric in its intensity. Surely a selection of a selection? A Sauternes higher in acidity than most. - Jancis Robinson
