Sigalas Rabaud Size:12x375ml with the Grenache aged inThe 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
