Jeb Dunnuck –
“Lots of pure honeycomb, candied orange, quince, and white flower notes all emerge from the 2019 Château Coutet, another balanced, sweetly fruited dessert wine from 2019 with lots to love. I don’t think it’s going to match the 2016, but it’s certainly in the same class as the 2017. It’s going to shine right out of the gate yet keep for 15-20 years in cold cellars.”
Vinous –
“The 2019 Coutet has a very intense bouquet of wild honey, saffron, dried pineapple chunks and a touch of cold, wet stones, all imbued with palpable joie-de-vivre. The taut, fresh palate is underpinned by a silver bead of acidity (always one of this Barsac’s leitmotifs), offering clementine, peach and nectarine toward the persistent finish. A joy. (NM)”
