Vinous – A Century of… 5

Château Coutet 2005: 94/100
The 2005 Coutet has a perfume and well defined nose with orange rind, marmalade, barley sugar and light wild honey scents. The palate is fresh on the entry and very focused, with crisp acidity and a bright, tensile, very pure finish. Excellent. Tasted at the 2005 Sauternes horizontal held at Château Coutet. Drink 2025-2050
