Suduiraut Sauternes 2015 375ml

99 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A huge success in the vintage is the 2015 Château Suduiraut and this gem goes a long way towards showing how successful the sweet wines were in 2015. Offering a massive array of orange peel, honey, marmalade, flowers, and toasted nuts, this incredible wine hits the palate with a thunderous display of opulence, richness, and length, all while staying fresh, elegant, and seamless. It has a huge mid-palate and is reminiscent of the 2003, only with more freshness and delineation. Drink: 2018-2048. (11/30/17)"

98 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent): "The 2015 Suduiraut has 150 g/l residual sugar. Pale to medium gold in color, it strolls out of the glass with forward, up-front scents of dried apricots, mango pudding, and pineapple upside-down cake, followed by hints of acacia honey, candied ginger, and wild fungi, plus a touch of allspice. The palate is fantastically fresh, with satisfying flamboyance, delivering loads of tropical fruit and baking spice layers, finishing long with a gingery lift. Drink: 2024-2054. (11/17/22)"

98 points (19/20)/'Le Coup de Coeur,' La Revue du Vin de France: "The 2015 grand vin distills a perfume of great refinement. With 138 g/L residual sugar, its finesse and power are equal. A simply magnificent wine with a lovely apricot finish. (2019)"

97 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2015 Suduiraut has a backward bouquet that needs more encouragement from the glass than any other Sauternes. But it is worth persevering as it offers lovely waxy, dried honey and quince aromas with time. The palate is rich on the entry with spice and ginger, thickly textured but never cloying, a fair amount of oak used here but it is perfectly assimilated. Stunning. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting. Drink: 2023-2064. (Jul 2019)"

95-97 points Neal Martin (Wine Advocate): "The 2015 Suduiraut comes with 123 grams per liter of residual sugar, more modest than some of its Sauternes peers and 4.56 grams per liter of acidity. It has a sense of completeness on the nose already: immense clarity with wild honey and quince aromas that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with very pure botrytised fruit, very focused and one of the most intense Sauternes you will find this year. It feels long and sophisticated in the mouth yet never overpowers, never really has to put its foot right down on the accelerator. This is a wonderful Suduiraut, not quite up to the level of the ethereal 2009...although not too far off. Drink: 2020-2060. (Apr 2016)"

95-97 points Wine Enthusiast: "Naturally rich, but with fine acidity and a lift of freshness, this is a ripe and perfumed wine. The honey and orange marmalade flavors are there along with lemon jelly and a sense of structure. It is a balanced, poised wine from a fine vintage. (Apr 2016)"

96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2015 Suduiraut is gracious and wonderfully expressive. Floral, citrus, mint and lightly honeyed notes convey an impression of sophistication and restraint. Beautifully sketched, with terrific delineation, lift and poise, the wine whispers rather than shouts. The blend is 94% Sémillon with 6% Sauvignon. Drink: 2020-2045. (Feb 2018)"

95 points Wine Spectator: "Quite a ripe, creamy, rounded and flattering style, with loads of toasted coconut, mango, papaya and apricot flavors, this nonetheless manages to stay defined and pure, with lovely honeysuckle and bitter almond hints on the finish. One for the cellar. Best from 2020 through 2040. (3/31/18)"
