Note di degustazione
The 2003 Coutet has a well-defined bouquet, considering this was the year of the heat wave. Pretty yellow plum and tangerine scents have retained their freshness. The palate is crisp and taut, waxy in texture with yellow plum and quince, harmonious and poised with a fresh and persistent finish. This deserves a round of applause. Tasted from an ex-château bottle served at the estate.

The 2003 Coutet is pale to medium gold colored and leaps from the glass with vivacious notes of baked peaches, key lime pie and candied orange peel with hints of lime leaves, praline and lemon curd. The rich, expressive palate is laden with spicy layers, framed by lively acid and finishing on a crème caramel note.
Bright yellow-gold. Sexy aromas of orange liqueur and spices. Sweet, round and pure, with a lush texture verging on unctuous. And yet this is wonderfully aromatic and light on its feet. Very ripe and very complex in the mouth, with harmonious acids framing the flavors of orange oil, peach and spicy oak. Finishes very long, ripe and seamless, with lingering notes of oaky vanilla and spice. This has been a knockout since the outset.
