Quite consistent with my notes from ~6 months ago:
Nose has over-ripe apricot, almond oil, marzipan, meringue cookie and cold butter.
Palate has warmed apricot pie with extra flakey, buttery crust, sweet sand, white flower honey and mango.
Admittedly I love Sauternes and have many bottles, yet it's a rarity on opening and posting to the Community. We paired this bottle with a hard, smoked goat cheese from a local, Hudson valley producer, a solid match of sweet and salty. — 4 years ago
More heavy-handed than Chateau Coutet but '03s rock and this still shines — 6 years ago

Fantastic Claret by the Beaulieu, owners of Chateau Coutet in St. Emilion. From organically farmed vines. Quite complex nose. Juicy red fruit and hints of rose petal, citrus zest. Light bodied, fresh, dry on the palate. Good acidity. Great value — 2 years ago
Complex and layered. — 5 years ago
The old '89 Chateau Coutet Barsac. Golden amber and just perfect. — 8 years ago
Perfectly aged 1961 Coutet. Nice apricot and honey in nose and on the palate. Sweet finish. Couldn't get much better. Yummy! — 4 years ago
Not as deep as Coutet but the flavors were solid. — 6 years ago

Golden honey with legs. Can’t get enough of that apricot blossom and honeycomb nose. Complex but balanced with a smooth, silky mouthfeel. Sweet, but not overpoweringly so, with a delightfully long finish. — a month ago
