Chateau Rabaud Promis Sauternes 1997
This beauty left me quite speachless. I felt a similar excitement when I first tried a Royal Tokaji a few months back, so it looks like there is a thing going on between me and nice dessert wines. The Rabaud-Promis has a magnificent pallette, a mixture of cantaloupe, peaches and honey with a taste that is a mixture of these and a slight scent of mint. Actually, I smelt another thing with every sniff, tasted something different with every sip. Always perfect. Drunk on it’s own, I have a feeling anything else would spoil the magic.
Price: €17.99 half bottle

I had a similar experience recently when trying a Chateau Bastor-Lamontagne 1998 from Sauternes. Will certainly be trying the Royal Tokaji too now. Great website, Stuart
