Decanter Magazine 17 / 20 par Steven Spurrier le 01/01/2014 Opulent apricot nose that is fleshy, ripe and oaky. The texture is almost creamy with a bright seam of acidity. A round and sensuous style.Drink 2014-2035
Wine Spectator 95 / 100 par James Molesworth le 31/03/2013 Offers a bright inner core of honeysuckle, pineapple, star fruit and white peach flavors, coated for now with heather honey, marzipan and mango notes. Fresh and racy through the finish, this is an elegant beauty, showing terrific cut and precision. Best from 2015 through 2030. –JM
Jamessuckling.com 94 / 100 par James Suckling le 17/02/2013 A sweet wine with honey and sliced apple character with lemon. Full body, medium sweet and a bright finish. It's layered and fascinating. So much spicy, botrytis and dried mushroom powder. Turns creamy. Drink or hold.
Wein Wisser 18 / 20 le 31/05/2011 Recht intensives Gelb. Faszinierend lebhafte Botrytis, gelbe Frucht, Reineclauden und frisch gepflükte Kamille. Viel Aromendruck im vollsüssen Gaumen, feine Säure, gebundenes Finale, ein sehr cremiger Coutet. 2015-2055
Asian Palate 94-95 / 100 par Jeannie Cho Lee MW le 24/05/2011 The 2010 Coutet exhibits wonderful aromatics of dried mangoes, dried apricots and marmalade, and a great concentration of botrytis flavours. Rich, dense but with firm acidity and great length, this is an impressive effort from a producer not usually known for reaching such heights. This fantastic Sauternes shows a wonderful balance between sweet layered flavours and firm acidity, has a long lingering finish and is built to age for decades. This is one for your cellar.
Le Point 16,5 / 20 par Jacques Dupont le 12/05/2011 Réduction, grillé, du bois mêlé au grillé, bouche dense, épicée, beaucoup de liqueur, puissant, riche, complexe, belles saveurs de fruits blancs mûrs. O=2016 G=30 ans
Decanter Magazine 19 / 20 le 30/04/2011 Perfect balance, lots of class, super-refined texture, great length, great wine: purity and power! Drink 2020-2040. (19 points)
TAST 19 / 20 par Bettane & Desseauve le 30/04/2011 Excellent équilibre général, beaucoup de race et de classe, fraîcheur superlative, grande suite en bouche, grand vin.
Jancis Robinson 18 / 20 par Jancis Robinson le 26/04/2011 Smudgy and interesting, already, on the nose. Lots of richness and smoothness. Really. This approaches the idea of a classic vintage with its density and concentration. Long. Very fine. RS 156 g/l, TA 4.2. Drink 2022-2040
