The 2018 Coutet is more backward than its peers, but it is well defined with dried honey, white flowers and subtle saffron scents. The palate is very well balanced with a fine bead of acidity courtesy of its limestone soils. This has good tension even if the finish would benefit from more complexity. There is a lovely spicy aftertaste that hangs around for 30+ seconds, completing a very appealing Coutet that should give three decade's of drinking pleasure.

Robe dorée. Superbe richesse de consitution et très belle complexité aromatique. Il se caractérise par un rôti ample, très noble, sur des notes de coings, d'abricot, de pêche rôtie. Délicieux.

This wine’s ripeness is intense, just hinting at an impressive future. The dry core of botrytis balances the honey and the spice, along with fresh lemon curd. This is likely to be a very fine wine.

Pleasant center palate to this young Barsac. Medium-bodied and very sweet, but lacks a bit of botrytis for me.

Lush, creamy and overt, with almond, ginger cream and maple notes draped over a dried apricot core. Displays good oomph but needs to stretch out a bit.
