Suduiraut 2014

The 2014 Suduiraut is quite lucid and deep in color compared to its peer. The bouquet is well defined with copious wild honey, orange blossom, quince and almond aromas. The palate is well balanced with a viscous entry, well judged acidity, fresh and vibrant with a long, persistent, lightly spiced finish. There is something “complete” about this Sauternes and I can see this repaying bottle age. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. 2020 - 2050

Candied citrus and pineapple drizzled with acacia honey is how this smells and tastes, and the wine is rich and creamy with excellent concentration. Powerful and flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

Really quite subtle nose. Big and bold - much richer and sweeter than most 2014s. Lots of different wild-flower aromas in here - interesting. Relatively heavy. But then there is lots of acidity on the end. Reverberant.
Drink 2022-2040

On the flamboyant side, with mango and guava flavors out front, followed by hints of creamed pear and fig. The lush finish is coated with almond cream and toasted coconut notes. Best from 2020 through 2035. 3,417 cases made.

Both nose and palate have fruit intensity the mid palate rich and fleshy apricots and candied peel. It is lighter at the back fresh and fragrant, floral with a delicate charm and the finish has a hint of botrytis. 2025-35

Close to the top of the sweet wine pyramid in 2014, this is a delicious Suduiraut. Waxy, spicy and richly oaked, it’s honeyed, concentrated and flavoursome with botryris richness underpinned by grapefruit and lemon zest flavours and a hint of smoky reduction.
