2001 Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes 375ml
Bottled recently. Pure botrytis, strong aromas of flowers, spices and of honey. Very complex in the mouth with a remarkable balance. A great wine that is opulent and rich but with magnificent finesse in its strength. A persistent finish. A wine to look forward to.

Gorgeous aromas of honey, passion fruit, mango and candied lemon rind. Full-bodied and ultraconcentrated, yet balanced and refined. It lasts for minutes on the palate. This has just about everything in the right place. Stunning.
98 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
A prodigious effort, possibly the finest Suduiraut since 1959, the medium gold-colored 2001 offers notes of creme brulee, caramelized citrus, Grand Marnier, honeysuckle, and other exotic fruits as well as a pleasant touch of oak. With terrific acidity, a voluptuous/unctuous palate, and sweet, powerful flavors buttressed by crisp acidity, it is a phenomenal Sauternes. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040.
