Score 86/100 · Drink 2019-2024, Neal Martin, Mar 2019

The 1996 Suduiraut feels rather flat on the nose after 22 years, missing the intensity of later vintages, caramel and toffee-ish notes emerging with time. The palate is fully mature with simple orange rind and peach notes, however, it fades too rapidly on the finish. Compared to previous bottles this feels as if it is in decline. Tasted at the Suduiraut vertical at the château.

Bright gold. Pretty simple on the nose. Very big and barley sugar on the palate. You couldn’t fail to like this even if it not one of the subtlest. Chewy end. (JR)

This is a green, lean, tart style of Suduiraut with spicy oak dominating its otherwise indifferent aromatics. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2014.
