Cellar Tracker

(07-2011) Medium amber, citrus tinged light caramel flavors, with wonderful balance. Took a half hour to open in the decanter. Was the most successful wine with all the courses at dinner. Medium to long finish and kept developing in the glass.

5 / 5

Michael Broadbent

(1983) A good vintage for Coutet. Excellent flavour, harmonious.
