Wine Spectator – 2014 Bordeaux Dessert Wine

CHÂTEAU COUTET Barsac 2014 Score: 95–98

Plump at first, with a praline note around the heather, pineapple and nectarine flavors. Stretches out, with a juicy feel, while orange blossom and white peach accents fill in, imparting lift and cut. This packs a bit of power, but there’s lots of buried freshness as well. The finish is seriously long already.
