1975 Château Coutet Barsac

Community Tasting Note

84 Points

Sunday, June 5, 2011 - The strawberry season is here in England - so what to try with magnifcent berries fresh from the garden - one of my classic old sauternes - in a half bt.

This is an old dowager - bright and glowing with golden colour - a rich nutty nose - then lean but full of taste.

Nicely dominates the strawberries and cream - and at its best when finishing off on its own afterwards.

Recently tasted the 2007 Coutet - doubt that will have the length over time.

Pity that was the last Bt - so on to others - Rieussec next
