Sampled twice already and finished for Margaret L visit. Terrific. Bit heavier build than Monday’s Child but for 2021 equally enticing. — 2 months ago

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.

#sauternes so sweet and balanced. Third of three bottles for my wife’s 40th birthday. We saved the best for last, as it turns out. Honeyed layers as this gently warms in a Burgundy bowl - caramel, marzipan, toasted almonds, some petrol, apricot jam. Tastes exactly how it smells with the acidity taking a step back from the honey sweetness swirling around a luscious oily mouthfeel. Touch of orange pith bitterness on the finish - lovely wine. Indeed it pairs well with Indian food but the force of this wine could have easily matched even spicier dishes. Beautiful wine and what’s amazing is it seemed this wine could easily go another 20 years. Good Sauternes is ever youthful. — 3 years ago

Exceptional for a third bottling. A roaring beauty. Length and depth with a regal, grainy texture on the mid-palate. Blueberries and scorched earth present with fruitcake notes. Tannins and acid suggest a hold for many years. I’m impressed. Will only further improve. — 3 months ago

Ótimo vinho. Harmonizado com costelinha suína ao molho de mostarda e mel. Taninos bem macios com final sedoso. No aroma tive a sensação de presente de uma fruta, me lembrou amora bem madura e no final senti um aroma de chocolate — 9 months ago

Vibrating electric citrus pumping goodness..Key Lime, Meyer Lemon, yuzu zest with amazing lightness on the palate. One bottle is never enough for two. And with Tegan’s friendly pricing you can afford that second or even third bottle. — 2 years ago
