Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 23, 2024 - Once again, our host out did himself pairing a 7-course meal with an all Sauternes tasting. Covering 50 years from a '55 d'Yquem in shockingly great shape to a pair of '05s, this '01 Rabaud-Promis was my contribution.

All wines showed well, this was probably liked more by others than myself as I felt it was lacking just a bit of acid. Nonetheless it was still in excellent shape. Honeysuckle, pineapple, nutmeg some of that traditional crème brûlée all showed nicely. Not overly viscous or heavy I just wanted a slight bit more acid.

Given how some of its tablemates from the 80s and 90s showed I don't see how this couldn't be appreciated for decades to come.
