Suduiraut 1997 is a mature-vintage sweet wine from the Sauternes appellation of Bordeaux. Located in the commune of Preignac and with vineyards neighbouring those of Yquem, Château Suduiraut is a 1er Cru Classé Sauternes property that traces its history back to the 15th century. This is the 1997 vintage wine from the property, which is in its prime drinking window. "The 1997 Suduiraut has reached a really lovely plateau in its evolution and is drinking splendidly at age nineteen. The bouquet is deep, pure and shows lovely secondary layers of complexity in its mélange of honey, fresh apricot, oranges, crème brulée, soil tones and a gentle framing of buttery oak. With air distinctive notes of clove and marmalade blossomed as well on the nose. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, deep and focused, with a fine core of fruit, lovely, zesty acidity and impressive length and grip on the à point finish. Just a lovely, classic vintage of Suduiraut that is just reaching its apogee, but which will continue to drink splendidly for at least a couple of decades." John Gilman 2018

The 1997 Suduiraut has an attractive bouquet with orange pith, yellow flower and slightly earthy aromas. It is missing a little energy after 21 years. The palate is well balanced with a touch of dryness on the back palate. There is decent weight here but it almost stumbles across the finish line with an oxidative element that I have observed on previous bottles. 110gm/L residual sugar. Tasted at the Suduiraut vertical at the château. Neal Martin1st March 2019
