Parker - Wine Advocate Lisa Perrotti-Brown (95 Punkte)
With coaxing, the pale lemon colored 2016 Coutet slowly unfurls to give a myriad of preserved lemons, pineapple pastry, almond croissant, fresh ginger and lime blossoms scents with nuances of chalk dust, white pepper, star anise and cedar. Rich, seductive and yet exquisitely balanced, the satiny-textured palate has layer upon layer of citrus and savory notions, finishing very long and spicy.
Wine Spectator (92-95 Punkte)
Plump, with a mouthful of tangerine, peach and clementine notes laced with a ginger thread. A twinge of bitter orange adds cut on the finish.
René Gabriel/Andre Kunz (18 Punkte)
Samtenes, kräftiges, opulentes Bouquet, gekochte Birnen, fein Zitrus, Honig, Minze, Kreide. Ausgewogener, voller, gut üppiger Gaumen mit kräftiger Frucht, sehr guter Süsse, feiner, frischer Säure, dichter, vielfältiger Aromatik, cremiger Struktur, üppiger Abgang. Kann noch zulegen.
Vinous Antonio Galloni (89-92 Punkte)
The 2016 Coutet is bold, immediate and delicious. Ripe pear, tangerine, spice, mint and dried flowers build into the soft, caressing finish. This is an especially discreet, understated style with less overt sweetness than is found in many other wines.
