1997 Coutet, Barsac
92
Int'l Wine Cellar
Review Date: 07/2000Read All Reviews
Complex, classy aromas of nectarine, apricot, smoke and roasted grain. Very rich and concentrated; full and sweet for Barsac but carrying no excess weight. Lovely pliant texture. Finishes very long, spicy and fresh. A very elegant wine with an impressively long, spicy aftertaste.

A classic example of elegance allied to richness and intensity, Coutet's 1997 exhibits an expressive, floral, citrusy, honeyed nose, with notes of orange, Chinese black tea, pineapple, and spicy oak. It is all finesse, with honey, medium to full body, gorgeous delineation, and refreshing underlying acidity. It should drink well young. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020. (RP)

Pretty and fresh, with lemon, honey, meringue and pineapple character. Medium-bodied and medium sweet, with a long, fresh finish. Best after 2001.

Notes
Like the '96, this is silky and suave. The very long, ripe finish hints at honey and caramel.
