Drank this right after a 2000 les Pagodes de cos. Big contrast. The Pagodes was very fruit forward, darker, had longer finish and richer/thicker mouth feel. Still young and ageable. The Coutet in contrast is rustic, thinner, lighter, and more secondary on the palate. Short finish. Prune like plum fruit, dried fruits currants, terrior, Drying finish speaks of residual tannin greater than the remaining fruits.

Anita: Very subtle nose; hints of light berry and leather; very supple entry into mouth, nice silky mth feel; some tart acidity near the end. All in all a good wine, but lacks focus or character.
