Rating: 5/5 - As reviewed by Decanter. Terrific nose of overripe peach and apricot fruit balanced by citrus aromas. Very energetic palate with lots of fruit, spice and balance. Definitely a cut above the rest.

The ’97 Suduiraut is a golden colored wine that is slightly viscous. It has an aroma of apricots with a touch of vanilla. The wine is sweet, but not as sweet as other Sauternes I have tasted. The predominant flavor is apricots and honey with a moderate Botrytis flavor. The wine finishes slightly sweet, with fruit, however I found the flavor very subdued.

wonderful nose with a delicate but complex finish ending with bitter chocolate tones.
