The 2009 is one of the greatest wines ever produced from the estate. It has a riveting bouquet of quince, honey, pear and a touch of clarified butter that is beautifully defined, offering scents of yellow flowers with continued aeration. It is a little heavier and more intense than its peers at this stage. The palate is beautifully balanced with perfectly judged acidity and immense purity. The finish offers crisp honey, quince and clementine notes laden with botrytis that is counterpoised by wonderful acidity. It possesses an unerring sense of completeness and composure that is irresistible. Bravo! Drink now-2050.

Mid gold; dense citrus and botrytis spice to smell; beautifully balanced, remarkably effortless, elegantly concentrated middleweight Sauternes; very sweet, yet so fresh, complex, charged with savour, long and fine, absolutely without excess or heaviness; incredibly light on its toes given its sweetness, and with terrific persistence of delicately spicy fruit. Recalls the 2001, but this seems more subtle, less weighty. A reference wine, fabulous Suduiraut. 2016-40+
