Geoffrey Binder, JJ Buckley, February 2013

92% semillon, 8% sauvignon blanc. Aged in 50% new oak. A beautiful vibrant gold color, this was one of the darker Sauternes of the tasting. Notes of citrus, fresh vanilla bean and light, pretty floral notes make up the bouquet. This shows a full, rich mouthfeel yet it remains lithe and elegant. It shows slightly darker notes on entry, with dried apricot, candied ginger and a firm, spicy finish. The texture and weight is impressive, carrying the decadent mouthfeel of the 2009, while displaying much more freshness and acidity to create a long powerful finish that goes on for 10+ seconds. In youth it's hard to resist, but it will easily provide two decades or more of life.

Expressive fruity nose in this top Sauternes with ripe orange, apricot and pineapple. Candied orange peel, white peach and orange blossom. This Sauternes is elegant and with wonderfully balanced sweetness on the palate. Good structure and length. Vibrant acidity and lots of spice in the excellent finish. Excellent. Drink or hold.

Jancis Robinson, April 2011

Tasted blind 4 Apr: Rich and subtle on the nose; it already feels heavy in the glass. Very big and bold. Spicy. One of the sweetest and it seems to be interesting too! Very rich for a 2010. RS 142 g/l, TA 3.8 g/l. Tasted 7 Apr: Mid pale gold. Broad and rich and fresh but with very ripe pear-juice notes. There is real weight here. Much less citrus peel than most other 2010 Sauternes. Real race. Dangerously delicious now. Long. Super clean. Medium to heavy weight. Great undertow. Long. Nervy. 18 out of 20

The Chateau Suduiraut has a comparatively rich, botrytized bouquet with dried honey, pineapple and a touch of Seville orange marmalade, with exquisite definition and focus. The palate is well-balanced, with a viscous texture and a good level of botrytis, demonstrating fine minerality and tautness. Dried mango, quince and spice all interlace the focused finish, which is long in the mouth. Tasted against its peers, this has a higher level of intensity and focus. A superb follow-up to the sensational 2009. -Neal Martin

Really big and rich, with lots of raw date, glazed pear, creamed peach and fig aromas and flavors. Very lush and long, but also clean and round despite its heft. -J.M.
