Apple and Butterscotch

Castelmau de Suduiraut
2001 Sauternes
$29.99
Jen’s Notes

This second label of Chateau Sudurait offers a lot of the bang of a premium dessert wine at a slightly more comfortable price point. It could definitely develop with bottle age, but you'll enjoy its youthful personality now as well. The nose is full of apple and butterscotch scents. On the palate, it is lively and bright, with apple pie flavors. Like the pie, it is both caramelly-sweet with a crispness on the edges. There is nice concentration of flavors now, but the greatest concentration and richness will come with bottle age.

Good minerally base note and endless finish. An excellent deal in Sauternes.
