The 2013 Coutet has an attractive nose with dried honey, frangipane, rosewater and orange pith scents, blossoming nicely in the glass like a bashful child suddenly discovering their singing voice. The palate is well balanced with a viscous opening, lightly spiced marmalade and tangy apricot laced with white pepper on the finish. Impressive in terms of length, this Barsac is drinking well right now, but knowing Coutet's propensity to mature, will give another couple of decade's drinking pleasure.

Lot of SO2 used here. Bit of cheesy and iodine nose, some white flowers and peach in and under. Give it some time

Smells like the tropics . Like tropical flowers. It transports me straight to the Cayman Islands. Sweet but not cloying. Silky texture. Pineapple heaven. I want to take a bath in this.
