  The 1947 Suduiraut shows a delightfully aromatic, generous nose, brimming with burnt orange rind and rich nougatine, trading on its balance of fresh citrus and the deep baritone notes of age rather than amazing complexity. Yet it’s undoubtedly a deeply satisfying drink, offering a character that many decades in bottle can provide. As usual, half the joy with Sauternes and Barsac is the juxtapositions they provide - sweet and acidic, freshness and age. One of life’s great drinks.

  Dark in colour, the nose on this just jumped from the glass with molases, prune, creme brulee, fig and spice. The palate was so svelte....candied orange, caramel, dates, nutmeg, and fig flavours dominated on carried on to the medium length finish
  I was not sure how this wine was going to show but it was certainly quite nice.
  Drank with Tim, Susan, Greg, Maureen and Leanne at Tim's with his foie gras haul from Paris
