A tad simple and sugary. Not refreshing! Golden syrup. But not dull. (JR)

The 2018 Coutet has a very intense bouquet with marmalade, clementines, mango and light apple blossom scents, all delivered with exceptional precision and delineation. The palate is vibrant and tensile on the opening thanks to a killer line of acidity that slices through the viscous fruit. There is so much tangible energy in this Coutet. This comes highly recommended.
The 2018 Coutet is a powerful, viscous Sauternes. Orange marmalade, hazelnut, dried rose petal, honey and burnt sugar all give the 2018 a real feeling of both volume and depth. There are some angular contours that hopefully will soften in time. Today, Coutet is a bit unbalanced and does not have the charm that is common in 2018.
