Lions De Suduiraut 2013 is described as a lighter, "contemporary" take on classic Sauternes; it certainly feels fresh with plenty of racy, orange citrus acidity and purity. But with its golden hue and complex flavours of honey, peaches, oranges and apricots, it's still a classically rich, lusciously sweet wine.

From JamesSuckling.com:
Candied orange peel with apricot and caramel. Vanilla and lots of spice on the palate in this really sweet Sauternes. Dense and long with a still slightly dense and round finish. Second wine of Suduiraut. 92 Points
