VINUM: "Frisch, zitrisch, mit feiner Würze und delikater Aprikosennote; üppig im Auftakt, zeigt Biss, eine hervorragende Säure kontert die hohe Süsse, aromatisch komplex und mit langem, dezent salinen Abgang ist das ein äusserst gelungener Süsswein ohne jegliche Schwerfälligkeit."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Caramelized peach, honeyed orange, croissant, spice, and candied mint are just some of the nuances in the 2023 Château Sigalas Rabaud, a beautifully balanced, layered, elegant Sauternes in the vintage that has nicely balanced sweetness and a clean, lengthy finish."

FALSTAFF: "Mittleres Goldgelb, silberfarbene Reflexe. Zart floral, weiße Tropenfrucht, etwas Pfirsich, ein Hauch von Mango. Kräftig, präsentes Holz, weißer Pfeffer, reifes Steinobst, opulente Süße, noch nicht ganz in der Balance, wird von Reife profitieren."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Juicy, ripe, and overripe pineapples, apricots, candied white peaches, caramel, flowers, and honey are all over the place. The finish is all about the honey-slathered, ripe, and over ripe, sweet tropical fruits with their racy edge. You can enjoy this early as well as age it. Drink from 2026-2045."

JAMES SUCKLING: "This has a sweet spiced-pear, apple-tart and light honey character. Sweet, medium-bodied palate and a salty, spicy finish. Fresh and balanced."

DECANTER: "I like the energy and poise in this Sauternes, with vivid aromas and flavours of honeyed white peach, tropical fruit and pineapple. But it lacks enough of the exciting botrytis spice and vivacious tension to join the upper echelons. A solid and even excellent wine, to enjoy upon release or wait for more complexity over time. With 140 grams of residual sugar per litre."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Cask sample. Pale golden hue. Pure and refined in style. Less weighty than some but long and precise. Citrus flavours and plenty of freshness thanks to marked acidity. Drink 2027 – 2045."
