Coutet

2012

Wine Advocate 92: The 2012 has a lifted bouquet of quince, marmalade and yellow flowers that is precise and focused. The palate is viscous and convincing on the opening, offering good depth and cohesion with satisfactory botrytis, though it tails away ever so slightly on the finish. Still, this is a commendable effort and is another fine 2012 Barsac.

James Suckling 89: Dense for the vintage with phenolic, apple skin and honey character. Full body, light sweetness and an apple puree aftertaste. A little simple. Drink now.

2023

James Suckling 94-95: A Barsac with dried-apple, apricot and spice character. The botrytis comes through with a healthy and clean nature to it. Medium-bodied and medium-sweet with a spicy finish.
