Lion de Suduiraut 2021 – Bordeaux

The nose is fruity, elegant, aromatic (nice aromatic range) and reveals a an enveloping quality and a fine spicy side. There are notes of sweet spices, nutmeg, kumquat and a hint of ripe citrus fruit combined with hints of fleshy/crushed peach and fine hints of honeysuckle, a subtle touch of white flowers and a discreet hint of apricot. The palate is elegant and ample. There is gourmandize, nice definition and racy minerality. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy nectarine and crushed lychee and more lightly of white flowers combined with a touch of mesocarp, kumquat and fine points of crushed yellow berries. There is a subtle hint of butter and a very discreet hint of sweet spice and vanilla. Good linearity. It is a nice wine. On the finish there is a subtle hint of fresh hazelnut (in the background). A subtle tannic hint in the background. It is appetizing.
