James Suckling 91-92/100There’s spice, botrytis, dried-apple and orange-peel character. Medium-bodied, sweet and refined. Not the richest example, but there’s purity to it.
Neal Martin Vinous 92-94/100
The 2023 Château de Rayne-Vigneau has an intense nose that currently shows a bit of oak; that will be integrated with time. The palate is sorbet-fresh on the entry with tangy marmalade, peach and saffron notes. There is an undercurrent of stem ginger that lends a bit more complexity on the finish. Once the aromatics cohere, as I am sure they will, this will constitute a fine Sauternes. Give it four to five years once bottled.
