Neal Martin
The 2016 De Suduiraut has a complex bouquet with rich and honeyed fruit, superb mineral tension and wonderful detail. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, great tension and a lovely touch of spice towards the very persistent finish. What a great Suduiraut in the making here, so full of character and complexity, and yet you still feel as if it has something up its sleeve. 94-96 points

Exotic deep amber in colour, this is beautifully textured, one of the richer Sauternes on display but also one of the best balanced. Step for step, the succulent character is matched by acidity. It also has definite complexity, with caramel, crab apple, a twist of lemon meringue, and a brush of white truffle, which could be picked up further on the finish to really set this off. 94 points
