Chateau Suduiraut 2019

WEINWISSER: "94 % Sémillon, 6 % Sauvignon Blanc, 14,1 %-vol., 130 g/l Restzucker, 3,7 g/l Säure. Leuchtendes Goldgelb mit lindgrünen Reflexen. Königliches Parfüm nach gekochtem Birnenmark, rotem Apfel, Safranfäden und Akazienhonig. Im zweiten Ansatz Mirabellentarte und Tahiti-Vanille. Am öligen Gaumen mit einer genialen Souplesse, von einer magischen Rasse getragen wirkt der Gigant wie eine Feder und fegt tänzerisch über das Parkett. Im gebündelten, nicht enden wollenden Finale mit Mandarinenzesten und eingelegten Cocktailkirschen. Die Dynamik macht da den Unterschied, für mich der beste Wein der Appellation!"

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Rich, lush, opulent, concentrated and most importantly, vibrant and fresh. From start to finish the wine serves up its elixir of overripe pineapple, apricot, white peach, flowers, spice and marmalade honey. It is effortless to drink and will deliver pleasure for decades. Drink from 2022-2060."

DECANTER: "A little closed on the nose, some florality with wild honey and orange. Good density here, this is certainly on the rich side with the alcohol just poking through. Good structure with a wonderful lift at the end. There is some brightness and acidity on the finish, this has excellent potential and beautiful touches of florality that I really like. Rich, seductive and unctuous. Drinking Window 2024 - 2045"

FALSTAFF: "Mittleres Goldgelb, Silberreflexe. Frische gelbe Tropenfrucht, zarter Holzanklang, Nuancen von Papaya und Ananas, zart nach Orangenzesten. Kraftvoll, feine Fruchtsüße, reife Marille, straff und engmaschig, feiner Honig im Finale, zart nach Orangenkonfit im Rückgeschmack, ein großes Zukunftsversprechen."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Dried pineapple, apricot, fig and acacia honey on the nose. Some stem ginger and lemon pie, too. Sweet and luscious with dried fruit that’s layered with toast and spice. Fantastic concentration and length. Drink or hold."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Creamy and rich and botrytised and really rather difficult to spit out. Lovely texture, balance and complexity. A throat warmer."

WINE SPECTATOR: "Clean, ripe, pure and long, showing seamless white peach, quince, ginger, almond cream and green fig flavors that glide through, ending with style, a touch of panache and a bitter almond note that echoes. A step ahead of the field in this vintage. Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Drink now through 2035. 3,222 cases made."
