Château Coutet - Barsac 2008

Wine Advocate

92 / 100

Tasted single blind against its peers. This has a very floral, exuberant bouquet with white peach and grapefruit soaring from the glass. It is very pure and vivacious. The palate is harmonious with what feels like more sucrosity than on previous occasions. It is not viscous in texture, suggesting high acidity to slice through all that sweetness (a typical Coutet trait, as it turns out.) The finish displays touches of ginger and dried orange rind that linger nicely in the mouth, although the general impression is that it needs several years to “calm down.” Tasted January 2012.

A bright, high-toned style, with glazed pear and peach fruit aromas and flavors backed by flashes of candied green plum and heather honey. Quite sweet on the finish, but long and pure. Drink now through 2021. 2,915 cases made.

Bright yellow-gold. Sexy cool spices, vanillin oak and a whiff of red berries on the nose. Moderately thick in the mouth but not yet expressive or complex, showing restrained tropical and stone fruit flavors lifted by a floral element and complicated by a hint of spicy oak. Not a particularly concentrated style but gained in texture in the glass. Finishes subtle and pure, with hints of marzipan and smoke. I'd hold this for at least five or six years. 90+

A big, rounded character, this is relatively soft, toasty almost, the fruit open, generous but unfocussed. It offers richness with a final tang of dryness.

Helles Gelbgrün. In der Nase nach Wiesenkräutern, rotbeerige Nuancen, etwas rusktikales Bukett. Am Gaumen sehr süß, etwas alkoholisch, es fehlt der Säurekonter, bleibt im Moment etwas unbalanciert und kurz.

An expressive nose of clear honey, apricot, a touch of quince jelly and a slight petrolly aroma – complex but very tight at the moment. The palate has good weight, honeyed on the entry, touches of apricot and citrus fruit, although the finish is fading just a little, lacking the clarity one hopes for. Still, this could improve over the next 12 months as the materials are here.

Château Coutet 2008 est rate (5,5 hl/ha dans le grand vin) et riche (143 g/l de résiduel pour 14° acquis). Un équilibre assez proche du 2007, mais le nez s'avère sans doute un peu plus floral et l'architecture générale plus aérienne que son prédécesseur.

Beaucoup de finesse et de pureté, corps aérien, belle acidité, texture cristalline propre à ce type de terroir et très différent de l’onctuosité de matière des sauternes de « coteau », encore sur la réserve.

byJancis Robinsonthe4/22/2009

Fat and oily, rich and full flavoured but quite elegant in the mouth, perhaps lacking a little in acidity to balance the breadth. Soft peachy finish. (JH) Drink 2013-23

The elegance, harmony and refinement of the scented fruit are the hallmarks of a classic Coutet. The wine is beautifully fresh with just the right concentration. Drink 2012-2032.

Spicy and lively, with bright acidity and plenty of noble rot character. Medium- to full-bodied and medium sweet, with a medium finish. Wait and see.
