1988 Suduiraut - Sauternes Barsac , Bordeaux, France

1988 Suduiraut: Dark gold colour, expressive and powerful nose dominated by almond, mango, apricot. Perfectely balanced and round. Long finish with loads of botrytis. This 1988 Suduiraut is really evolving very nicely. A complex and beautiful wine. 95/100 

1997 Suduiraut - Sauternes Barsac , Bordeaux, France

1997 Suduiraut - 1er Grand Cru Classe: Light gold colour - Honey, caramel, almonds, quince. Quite fat, fresh butter, tea. A nice and powerful 1997 Suduiraut but lacking a bit of elegance. 87/100

2001 Suduiraut - Sauternes Barsac , Bordeaux, France

2007 April -  Pale golden colour. Closed nose of pudding, crystallized citrus and bitter almonds.
Chewy taste, very lump and showing alcohol on the midpalate. It is surprisingly monolithic with a lack of elegance. Coarse caramelized "creme brulee" aftertaste. Is 2001 Suduiraut currently in a ungrateful intermediate phase? It didn't seem to be flawed, though. A major disappointment!
