Luonnehdinta

"With its golden yellow hue, Château Suduiraut 2013 makes a discreet impression at first on the nose. There are scents of citrus (orange, lemon and grapefruit), blossom and a slight hint of vanilla from ageing. When swirled around the glass, it releases aromas of crystallised fruit, along with exotic notes (pineapple) and a mineral edge. The palate demonstrates the typical character of the vintage with smoothness balanced out nicely by delightful freshness. There is plenty of richness in there, without excess and crystallised fruit on the palate, too, with lovely ripe apricot, leading into a mineral finish."

97/100p James Suckling 95/100p The Wine Advocate: "The 2013 Suduiraut has one of the more flamboyant bouquets of the vintage, one that is actually reminiscent of de Fargues. There are copious Satsuma and dried honey scents, hints of beeswax and almond that keep your snout in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with a viscous entry, just a touch of marmalade and quince coming through, and then blossoming toward the weighty finish that shows just a touch more oak at the moment. This is an excellent Suduiraut."
