Vinous - Antonio Galloni (98-100)The 2023 Suduiraut (100% Sémillon) is a real stunner. Light on its feet yet wonderfully deep, the 2023 offers up a heady mix of tangerine oil, mint, white flowers, apricot and passion fruit. Readers will find a Sauternes that is more finesse than power. The 2023 is essentially a blend of three picks. The first was done at the end of September and accounted for 20% of the crop. The core of the vineyard, about 75%, was picked in a day ten window in October, following the September rains. A smaller third pick rounded out the harvest. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90)The 2017 Tauzinat L'Hermitage has developed into a lovely wine. Plump, juicy and inviting, the 2017 is simply impeccable, not to mention incredibly delicious. Sweet tobacco, chocolate, black cherry, and dark spice all meld together in this racy yet mid-weight Saint-Émilion. Best of all, the 2017 is a terrific value. Tasted two times. |
