Tasted blind at the 10-Year On Tasting in Sauternes. The 2005 Château Rabaud-Promis has a light candied bouquet, timid at first with honey, vanilla pod and a touch of tinned apricot. It is a delicate thing. The palate is fresh and tensile on the entry with fine tannin, good tension with a vibrant finish, though it does not quite possess the complexity of the best 2005s.
