2003 Château Coutet Sauternes-Barsac, Premier Cru Classé
“Powerful” was the description I was given, and it’s true. Tangerine nose, with a bit of apricot, too. Thick, honeyed mouthfeel. More apricot and tangerine peel in the finish. Perfect botrytis occurred this vintage. Great with lobster + butter.
