Suduiraut 1999

Fairly pale color. Intriguing, musky aromas of pineapple, white plum, mirabelle and minerals; nose shows terrific precision. Then thick, dense and sweet in the mouth, but surprisingly tightly wound and spicy thanks to very good acidity. Not at all unctuous; in fact, still quite firm-edged. Finishes spicy and very long, with surprising cut for this wine.

Score: 92
