Château Coutet - Barsac 2008 (750ml)
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
Tasted single blind against its peers. This has a very floral exuberant bouquet with white peach and grapefruit soaring from the glass. It is very pure and vivacious. The palate is harmonious with what feels like more sucrosity than on previous occasions. It is not viscous in texture suggesting high acidity to slice through all that sweetness (a typical Coutet trait as it turns out.) The finish displays touches of ginger and dried orange rind that linger nicely in the mouth although the general impression is that it needs several years to ?calm down.? Tasted January 2012.
