This beautiful Sauternes offers a sweet nose of dried apricot with a full body on the palate. It has notes of tangerine, honey and spice with a velvety, long finish. — 9 days ago

Syrupy viscosity with a great nose. Enjoyed with toast and four gras as an appetiser. Definitely the right way to enjoy. — 4 years ago

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. — 6 years ago

Pours a golden yellow with high viscosity; extremely flinty nose, somewhat reductive initially, but blows off after some time in the glass. Ripe, yellow orchard fruits, bruised apple, yellow flowers, a healthy dose of French oak which is masterfully done IMO. Has a nice, mineral laden finish. Very long. Texture is so silky. A decent amount of power but balanced with acidity. — 3 months 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 — 5 years ago

Perfectly aged 1961 Coutet. Nice apricot and honey in nose and on the palate. Sweet finish. Couldn't get much better. Yummy! — 7 years ago

More heavy-handed than Chateau Coutet but '03s rock and this still shines — 9 years ago

A good wine but not as good as some other St. Emillion that I’ve had. Dry but less tannic. — 8 months ago

Cocoa powder gets you on the nose, but this merlot-dominant wine presents a nice array of red and dark fruit. Thyme? Light chalk and spice. Juicy acidity, tannins are tamed. Not the worst thing you could drink on a Monday.

Not as deep as Coutet but the flavors were solid. — 8 years ago
