Note di degustazione
Tasted blind. Deep barley-sugar gold. Very floral on the nose. And with tropical flowers on the palate. Just a bit pinched on the very end. Bit light. (JR)

The 2021 Coutet has another refined and (for Coutet) low-key bouquet that gradually finds its voice: quince, white peach, pineapple and beeswax scents. A faint hint of saffron that surfaces with aeration. The palate is well-balanced and quite viscous, bearing superb weight and a clean and pure, beautifully defined, botrytis-rich finish. Touches of vanilla emerge on the aftertaste. Excellent.
The 2021 Coutet is a real success in this challenging vintage, evoking aromas of dried apricot, pineapple, spices and ripe orchard fruits. Medium to full-bodied with a delicate, fleshy texture, the consequence of noble rot, this sweet wine is lively, with bright acids and a long, lingering, penetrating finish.
Vibrant gold in colour, silky texture, campfire smoke, grilled peach, pineapple, candied ginger, grated ginger, butterscotch, edge of petrol, this is full of complexity and arresting aromatics. A delicious wine with concentration and balance.
