Tasting notes
The 2019 Rabaud Promis is complex and very well-defined on the nose with yellow plum, orange pith and saffron scents. The oak is much better integrated than the Château de Myrat. The palate is well-balanced with a viscous texture, fine acidity, quite concentrated with a harmonious and quite persistent finish. This sashays along in style. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

Tasted blind. Very sweet with a flavour not unlike the glucose drink Lucozade – but much nicer! – with a hint of almonds. Very interesting. Very rich and layered. (JR)
Focused, spliced fruits, love the balance of juice and sweetness in this wine, really a lot to enjoy. It stands out in the vintage and is worth tracking down - quality and focus, with the luxurious weight of nectarine and apricot fruits against sharper greengage and lime zest, and the most perfectly bitter grilled saffron.
