1976 Chateau Suduiraut Sauternes

(92 Points) For me, the 1976 is the greatest Suduiraut of the seventies, and the only wine other than the 1989 that resembles the magnificent 1959 this property produced. Medium to dark amber/gold, this full-bodied, massive wine has a very intense bouquet of vanillin oak, ripe pineapples, and melted caramel. Very deep and viscous, this is a decadently opulent Suduiraut with enormous presence in the mouth. Anticipated maturity: Now-2010. Last tasted, 3/90. Bordeaux Book, 3rd Edition, Jan 1998
