Sigalas Rabaud Size:12x375ml That provides a very long

That provides a very long aftertaste and almost citric flavors with a mineral

a touch of asparagus gives the wine a greenness in the middle palate but there's also plenty of supporting dark fruit and graphite minerality

As one would reasonably expect given the domaine’s consistently low yields there is fine volume and concentration to the strikingly rich big-bodied flavors that deliver solid length and depth on the distinctly firm and warm finish

A pungent and highly expressive nose consists of menthol

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

Sigalas Rabaud Size:12x375ml That provides a very longThe 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
