Château Suduiraut 2013

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2013 Suduiraut has one of the more flamboyant bouquets of the vintage, one that is actually reminiscent of de Fargues. There are copious Satsuma and dried honey scents, hints of beeswax and almond that keep your snout in the glass. The palate is very well-balanced with a viscous entry, just a touch of marmalade and quince coming through, and then blossoming toward the weighty finish that shows just a touch more oak at the moment. This is an excellent Suduiraut.

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.

The nose is fruity, aromatic and offers intensity and concentration. It reveals notes of vanilla, candied lemon and pineapple in syrup / roasted pineapple associated with touches of toasted oak, peach flowers, nuts, honey and discreet hints of almond / Brioche. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, well-built, fine, quite precise and offers a nice density / richness, freshness, a good definition, a nice roundness, a fine unctuosity, a juicy frame, a fine acidity and fat. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of vanilla, pear in syrup and candied lemon associated with touches of pineapple in syrup / roasted pineapple, quenette, a subtle touch of mandarin jam, quince as well as fine hints of honey, toasted oak and almond. Good length. A wine to keep ! (2021+)

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.
