| Description: | 97 Ws / 96 We / 95 Vm / 95 De / 18 Jr. White peach, pineapple, white ginger, orange zest and green fig notes are clear and racy, while green almond, brioche, pear and yellow apple details wait in reserve. Offers stunning range and polish, showing terrific energy and cut on the finish. This just makes you feel special when you drink it. An estate that has been rising steadily for a while now. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator. Well balanced, this gorgeous ripe wine is packed full of fresh yellow fruits, ripe oranges and lemon. The fruit counterpoints the generous, dense structure, offering the dry core of botrytis. Acidity gives a line of freshness at the end. Drink from 2020. - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast. Bright golden yellow. Ripe tropical fruit, peach, marzipan and honey on the captivating nose, complicated by ample botrytis of crystalline purity. Big, dense and suave on the palate, with rich, ripe peach and apricot flavors lifted by a bright floral note. Finishes very long and creamy, with hints of earth and herbs. With 6 g/l total acidity and 155 g/l residual sugar, this marvelously balanced wine magically combines power and refinement. Another great Coutet in the making. -- Ian D'Agata, Vinous Media. Elegant peachy nose, with ample botrytis and integrated oak. Creamy and sumptuous, highly concentrated, this is a majestic wine with both power and freshness. Has energy and persistence and fine balancing acidity. Very sweet, but with enticing purity of fruit and raciness. Concentrated but has tangy acidity, adding up to a stylish wine with impeccable balance and length. - Stephen Brook, Decanter. Exciting raciness. Nerve and intensity and such great stuff. Such line and depth. Nervy. Long.-Jancis Robinson |
