Château Rabaud Promis 2009 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
94-96 Barrel sample. Great acidity here, but allied with considerable richness, there are flavors of orange marmalade, spicy tannins, a complex structure of very fresh fruits and dry botrytis.

Château Rabaud Promis 2011 Barrel Sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
94-96. Barrel sample. This wine dances so easily on the palate, yet still has the weight and richness of the year. There is a delicacy here, followed by an even denser intensity. It charms now, but will surely age over many years.

Château Rabaud Promis 2008 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Barrel sample. Sweet, with a toffee element, the fruit ripe, full of bitter orange flavors, a richly fine wine, concentrated and tight. The aftertaste is rich, with great wafts of fruit.

Château Rabaud Promis 2010 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
92-94 Very rich in character. The sweetness is there, but masked by the firm structure, the almost tannic texture. Great concentration.

Château Rabaud Promis 2007 White (Sauternes)
There are big flavors of botrytis here, giving a wine with power and concentration. The texture is muscular, tightness surrounding botrytis and layering with pineapple acidity and apricots.

Château Rabaud Promis 2005 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
90-92 Barrel sample. The botrytis is amazingly perfumed, smelling like a Paris perfume shop. The fruit is lost in a crazy range of exotic flavors. Fun, but very different.

Château Rabaud Promis 2006 White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
A wine that has taken the fruity route, with peach, sweet apple and honey flavors dominating. It is ripe and lush, although not hugely concentrated. It is already ready to drink, easy and friendly.

Château Rabaud Promis 2004 White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
There is such a surprising level of acidity in this wine that it seems unsure of where to go with its sweetness. The fruit flavors are lemon, peach and dry honey. While the wine is likely to age, it is already missing intensity.
