2011 Ch. Coutet, Barsac

Ch. Coutet, Barsac
Another stunning Barsac; aromas of honey, peach, citrus and apricot leap from the glass, while on the palate there is freshness, vigour and elegance. Acidities do not seem high in the sweet wines this year, but they have such purity and delicacy that they are not remotely blowsy.
(Alun Griffiths MW, Berrys' Wine Buying Director)

Ch. Coutet, Barsac
Great density and concentration with subdued acidity this year which is unusual for Coutet where one expects raciness. Rich, honeyed and unctuous. Fat and chunky right now but the depth and finish shows promise.

Ch. Coutet, Barsac
To be honest, I expected the 2011 Coutet to come rushing out of the blocks like Doisy-Daene; however it is not playing that game. Instead, it is almost Zen-like upon first acquaintance before revealing its life-affirming mineral aromas and traces of apricot and white peach that remain very subtle and yet tangibly there. The palate is medium-bodied with exceptional balance. There is a real sense of synergy between component parts; nothing out of place, everything focused and succinctly composed, with its trademark sense of thrilling tension on the finish. This is sheer class and a classic Coutet to add to the canon of great recent vintages.

Ch. Coutet, Barsac
This is really packed, with heather, golden raisin, dried pineapple, fresh white peach, quince and honey notes all woven beautifully together. The long, pure, singing finish has loads in reserve.
