Tasting commentary
Château Suduiraut 2022 reveals a deep golden yellow colour, reflecting the richness of the vintage. The nose is both delicate, with notes of rose,white flowers, lychee and clove, and powerful, with aromas of smoke, candied fruit, roasted pineapple and passion fruit.The attack is rich, the palate voluptuous and full-bodied, with flavours of yellow peach in syrup, spices and vanilla. The finish is very clean withoutbeing heavy, despite the richness of this vintage. The terroir is there to balance this power and bring back elegance.The 2022 is an exceptional wine, rich and exuberant, which will delight lovers of powerful wines and will become a must-have after a few decades in the bottle.
