Tasting Notes
| Wine Spectator 93 | |
| The '03 Ch Suduiraut has intense aromas of pecan pie, dried apricot, apples and syrup; full-bodied, medium-sweet; dense mouthfeel of very ripe fruit; very, very impressive. | |
| Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 92 | |
| Bright, full yellow. Honey, pineapple and a whiff of menthol on the nose. Then impressively powerful in the mouth but with lovely acidity leavening its concentrated fruit. Very juicy and fine for Suduiraut, and not at all outsized or overly sweet. Comes across as very young, and finishes with noteworthy spine. Quite suave. | |

| Tasted from the Château reserves at the estate. The 2003 has a pale gold hue. The nose is typically rich and extrovert with a slight blur of alcohol. There are notes of pure honey, orange rind, beeswax and a touch of spice. The palate is very mellifluous on the entry but there is the acidity cutting through it, honey, pineapple, orange peel, a touch of ginger, very powerful on the finish that has some rôti notes. It is missing the refinement and tension of a great Suduiraut but it still delivers a hedonistic thrill. Tasted October 2010. |
