2005 Chateau de Suduiraut

94 / A-

Tasted by Mike Supple - 01 Aug 2008

Ripe pineapple and mango accented by toasty caramel and lots of spice on the nose. Rich, sweet and mouthfilling with loads of pineapple, banana and apricot. Dense and rich with enough acidity to keep it lively.

Sauternes wines are incredibly time consuming to make, thus they are generally more expensive than table wines. A well made Sauternes such as this is well worth the price.
