Lively coppery gold. Very arresting characterful whistle-clean nose. Very pure, youthful, exuberant fruit. Very young but already exhibiting great layers of interest. A very successful wine. Drink 2007-2020. Date tasted 22nd Dec 01.
A classic example of elegance allied to richness and intensity, Coutet's 1997 exhibits an expressive, floral, citrusy, honeyed nose, with notes of orange, Chinese black tea, pineapple, and spicy oak. It is all finesse, with honey, medium to full body, gorgeous delineation, and refreshing underlying acidity. It should drink well young. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2020.
