justerini & brooks tasting note

Pure liquid gold. Super concentrated ripe passion fruit on the nose. Accacia honey, full flavoured with refreshing acidity. Very fine length and depth of flavour. A stunning effort.

93/100Yohan Castaing,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

With 150 grams per liter of residual sugar, the 2001 Suduiraut is showing elegantly today with a delicate, mature bouquet of apricots, spices, candied orange, saffron and pineapple. Medium to full-bodied, it has an elegant and round palate and a somewhat metallic character, and its long and fresh with delicate notes of quince in the finish. This blend of 90% Semillon and 10% Sauvignon Blanc was matured for 24 months in oak barrels (40% new, 30% one year and 30% older).

95/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2001 Suduiraut has a very well-defined bouquet of marmalade, honeysuckle, touches of kerosene and pine, all focused and vigorous. The palate is balanced with a fine bead of acidity, fresh and vibrant, featuring Seville orange marmalade mixed with orange peel, peach and wild honey; it displays a little more delineation than I have noticed compared to previous bottles, and great cohesion and persistence on the finish. Excellent.
