Parker about Château Suduiraut 1988
The 1988 reveals a textbook, light gold color with a slight greenish hue. Although it does not display the weight of the 1990 or 1989, it has better acidity, high alcohol, and considerable sweetness. It is somewhat disjointed, needing time to knit together. It is impressive if its components are evaluated separately, but it is less noteworthy when reviewed from an overall perspective.

Château Suduiraut 1988

The 1988 Château Suduiraut is a remarkable Sauternes that embodies the best characteristics of this region's rich vintage. Its deep golden hue promises a wine of impressive maturity and complexity. The nose unfolds with a rich bouquet of dried apricots, candied citrus fruits, and precious honey, accompanied by notes of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of spice reminiscent of saffron and nutmeg.
On the palate, the Suduiraut 1988 is opulent yet perfectly balanced, with lively acidity that adds finesse to the natural sweetness. The intense aromas of dried fruit and honey linger long and are complemented by a mineral freshness that lends the wine structure and depth. The finish is remarkably long, silky, and complex, with lingering notes of caramel and a hint of nuts.
A classic Sauternes of this format goes perfectly with rich desserts or mature blue cheese and promises many years of enjoyment even with further storage.
