94-96 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "This is initially very muted on the nose, but it unfurls seductively with subtle, perfumed aromas of lime leaf, white peach, fresh apricot and touches of white flowers: very pretty and well defined. The palate is beautifully balanced, so pure and succinct with wonderful precision towards the vibrant, white peach and apricot finish. This is a wonderful Sauternes and one of their best wines in recent years. (Apr 2010)"
94-96 points Wine Enthusiast: "Great acidity here, but allied with considerable richness, there are flavors of orange marmalade, spicy tannins, a complex structure of very fresh fruits and dry botrytis. (Aug 2010)"
91-94 points Ian D'Agata (International Wine Cellar): "(80% semillon and 20% sauvignon; 13.7% alcohol; 138 g/l residual sugar)) Medium-deep, saturated orange-gold. Vibrant aromas of tangerine, grapefruit, passion fruit, rose water and ripe cantaloupe, with plenty of botrytis character. Enters the mouth juicy and fresh, displaying great depth to its pure flavors of orange, peach, tea leaf, cantaloupe and oatmeal. Very sweet, but with balancing acidity that is positively exhilarating. Finishes with lovely lingering smoky perfume. This is by far the best young Rabaud-Promis I recall tasting. (May 2010)"
90-93 points Wine Spectator: "Sliced pear and apple, with honey and spices. Full-bodied, with apple pie and honey flavors and a pretty finish. (2010)"
4 stars Decanter: "Muted apricot nose, quite oaky. Creamy, with ample mandarin fruit. Balanced. Good length. Drink: 2013-2025. Alc: 13%. (Jul 2012)"
