Château Coutet

The 2017 Coutet has a super intense nose of ripe apricots, honey-coated nuts, warm pineapple and mango with touches of nutmeg and orange blossoms. Rich, sweet and unctuous, it has wonderful intensity and depth, finishing with fantastic length.

Tasted blind. Mid gold colour. Very fine, dried lime and citrus curd on the nose. Ginger and lemongrass. Vinous, with superb weight of fruit that makes the sugar seamless. Fleshy, spicy and powerful, yet held together for a long finish.

Wow. Fabulous focus and intensity to this wine with energetic sweetness and long, linear quality through the center palate. Orange-peel, lemon and peach undertones. Fresh finish. Drink or hold.
