Sigalas Rabaud Size:12x375ml A pungent and highly expressive

A pungent and highly expressive nose consists of menthol

It also reveals thin to medium texture

with the Grenache aged in a combination of oak tanks and foudre

which hangs on with noteworthy tenacity and building sweetness

all wrapped in an impressively long and superbly complex finish that flashes focused power

Sigalas Rabaud Size:12x375ml A pungent and highly expressiveThe 2009 Sigalas Rabaud has a rather light bouquet that lacks the intensity of its peers. It needs more vigour. The palate is well balanced with a fine bead of acidity, nicely balanced and lightly spiced with ginger and rhubarb towards the finish. I have encountered better bottles in the past, hence my question mark. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 2009 Bordeaux tasting. Neal Martin
