Note di degustazione
The magnum of 1975 Coutet was poured at my own infamous birthday party at The Ledbury. It has a vibrant, citrus-driven nose with hints of mango and quince developing with time in glass. The palate is bestowed with a touch of spice and dried pineapple on the entry, fanning out beautifully with a crisp, dried apricot and marmalade-tinged finish. Coutet is defined by its vivacity and acidity, and this is a perfect example of it. It is very fine and superior to the 1976.

Served at the 'KFC at The Ledbury' soiree and from magnum, the Coutet ’75 has a sprightly citrus-driven nose with hints of mango and quince developing with time in glass. The palate is bestowed with a touch of spice and dried pineapple on the entry, fanning out beautifully with a crisp, dried apricot and marmalade tinged finish. Coutet is defined by its vivacity and acidity and this is a perfect example of it. Very fine. (NM)
Every bit as good as the more open-knit and expressive 1976, the 1975 is lighter and more typically Coutet in its proportions, with a graceful, fresh taste, very good concentration, and years of evolution ahead. Anticipated maturity: Now-2002. Last tasted, 3/86.

Classified as a First Growth in 1855, this Barsac property has a history stretching back to the 14th century. Today it has 38.5 hectares of vineyard, producing brilliant sweet wines cut by taut acidity. In certain years, it produces Cuvée Madame, pure botrytised Semillon from its oldest vines.
