“What the heck is not to like and why isn’t the world buying this sort of wine??” - Jancis Robinson MW, 18.5 points

“Positively dazzling…Stunning.” - Vinous, 97 points

Jancis Robinson MW: “Pure copper colour. Classic, rich and ripe and sweeter than some (Sigalas Rabaud, for example) but exemplary. Pure, clean, bracing and refreshing yet so sweet. What the heck is not to like and why isn’t the world buying this sort of wine?? Drink now-2050.” 18.5 points

Vinous: “Just as impressive as it was in barrel, the 2017 Suduiraut is positively dazzling. Pineapple, orange peel, crême brulée, white flowers, honey, apricot and hazelnut are some of the many nuances that develop in the glass. Rich and heady, yet also wonderfully vibrant, the 2017 is developing into a stunning Suduiraut. The 140 grams of residual sugar is very nicely integrated. Only the fruit from the last two picks made it into the Grand Vin, Drink now-2047.” 97 points

The Wine Advocate: “More floral and elegantly perfumed than its 2015 and 2016 counterparts, the 2017 Suduiraut exhales aromas of white flowers, peaches, plums and ripe orchard fruits. Medium to full-bodied, round and enveloping with a delicate, fleshy core of fruit, it’s perfectly balanced with a stunning "rôti," the consequence of noble rot. It concludes with a long, penetrating and mineral-laden finish, showcasing the wine's youthful expressiveness. This blend of 94% Sémilllon and 6% Sauvignon Blanc contains 140 grams per litre of residual sugar and was matured for 18 months in a combination of new oak barrels and one-year-old barrels, split evenly. Drink now-2054.” 95 points
