97 points James Suckling: "This is phenomenal with superb depth and texture. Full-bodied and very sweet, yet the bright acidity balances the wine out. Creamy mouthfeel with phenolic undertones. Great finish. This wine has a great future. Better in 2021, but already great. (2/10/16)"
96 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): “Pale to medium straw-gold in color, the 2013 Suduiraut slides seductively out of the glass with opulent notions of Seville orange marmalade, apricot preserves, and allspice, followed by wafts of jasmine tea, chamomile, and almond croissant. The palate is decadently rich yet light on its feet, with intense exotic spice and stone fruit preserves flavors and a very long finish. Drink: 2023-2048. (Aug 2023)”
94-96 points Wine Enthusiast: "Full and rich, this is a powerful wine. It's packed with botrytis-driven flavors of wild honey and peach, balanced by tight acidity. For long-term aging. (Mar 2014)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "This is on the exotic side of the ledger, with mouthfilling ginger, mango, quince and papaya flavors that course through, backed by a singed marshmallow note on the long, unctuous finish. Approachable, but no hurry. Drink now through 2033. (3/31/16)"
93 points Decanter: "Fresh and zesty with an almost minty-herbal edge. Deceptively rich as well (150g/L RS). Sweet attack on the palate, then long and linear on the finish. The acidity is present but wrapped in fruit. Drinking Window: 2019-2040. (2023)"
92 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "Aromas of grapefruit, confit citron, kumquat and lemon preface the 2013 Suduiraut, a moderately weighted, juicy and textured wine with a sweet, layered and round palate that segues into a long, mineral and fresh finish. Harvested between September 26 and October 30 in three tries, with a yield of 15 hectoliters per hectare, this blend of 93% Sémillon and 7% Sauvignon Blanc was matured for 20 months in 45% new oak barrels and 55% one-year-old oak barrels. It contains 145 grams per liter of residual sugar. Drink: 2020-2040. (6/6/24)"
92 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2013 Suduiraut, picked from 3 to 30 October, is destined to be overshadowed by the succeeding two vintages. The aromatics feel very “contained” with beeswax, dried honey and light spicy aromas, although it is missing the intensity of a top vintage. The palate is very well balanced with crisp acidity, very focused and poised, perhaps a more approachable Suduiraut since it does not possess the concentration of a more benevolent growing season. But it retains admirable freshness and there is a lovely spiciness, a dab of ginger on the aftertaste. 13.6% alcohol, 145gm/L residual sugar. Tasted at the Suduiraut vertical at the château. Drink: 2019-2040. (Mar 2019)"
