The 2003 Coutet has a well-defined bouquet, considering this was the year of the heat wave. Pretty yellow plum and tangerine scents have retained their freshness. The palate is crisp and taut, waxy in texture with yellow plum and quince, harmonious and poised with a fresh and persistent finish. This deserves a round of applause. Tasted from an ex-château bottle served at the estate. Drinking range: 2021 - 2040 Rating: 90 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Feb 2024)
The 2003 Coutet is pale to medium gold colored and leaps from the glass with vivacious notes of baked peaches, key lime pie and candied orange peel with hints of lime leaves, praline and lemon curd. The rich, expressive palate is laden with spicy layers, framed by lively acid and finishing on a crème caramel note.

Greenish gold. Rather light, leafy nose - not one of the most impressive. Sweet start. Burnt edge. Quite neat and very long. Not bad at all but just overwhelmed by some more complex and more obviously sweet wines. 2006-2015 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com

A subtle note of pineapple cubes, but then classic dried fruits steeped in delicate honey and citrus. Plenty of ripe fresh acidity backing this richly fruited wine to give balance and some lovely freshness.
