  (Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes) A lovely, quite evocative nose here. Plenty of rôti botrytis in evidence, with aromas of honey, honeysuckle and a fruit curd richness. A lovely weight, fat and creamy, textured and very stylish, being balanced out by a strong vein of acidity. Impressive structure and plenty of potential for the cellar here. A under-rated vintage for Sauternes, I think, as revealed by a gradually climbing score here (and for some other wines).

  (Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes) In contrast this wine has a lovely depth, showing great concentration and a rich, fabulous bouquet. Creamy-oily lusciously full texture, with smoky, rôti fruit complexity, all cut through by some superb acidity which gives the wine some freshness. Deeply opulent, and a meaty finish. This is really impressive.

  (Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes) An obvious family resemblance on the nose. Some good botrytis too. This has a lovely palate. It has gentle, pure, honeyed fruit, with a slight toffee edge. Rounded, structured, with good acidity. This needs five years at least before broaching but will drink sooner than the other two wines tasted here.
