1990 CHÂTEAU SUDUIRAUT 1990

(09-2007)

(Ed 1998)
The evolved, medium gold color of the 1990 is prematurely advanced, raising questions about future longevity. The 1990 possesses plenty of intensity, and an unctuous, thick, juicy style, but high alcohol and coarseness kept my rating down. None of these wines offers much delineation, so cellaring should prove beneficial as they do have admirable levels of extract.

Botrytis bomb. Gold color. Loads of spicy, almondand toffee character with pineapple fruit.Full-bodied, very sweet and very, very ripe.Blistering long finish. A bit rustic, but amazing.Can age as long as you like.--1990 Bordeauxretrospective.

(10-1998)Fairly deep orange-gold ; honey and flavours, certainly very fragrant ; sweet, plump, full-bodied, slightly caramelly, floral, good acidity.
