Coutet Sauternes 2012 375ml

Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting. The 2012 Ch?teau Coutet was showing a bit of reduction on the nose when I tasted it: just a touch of chlorine behind the clear honey and waxy aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with a viscous opening. There is commendable weight in the mouth with dried honey and peach notes, although it just cuts away rather swiftly on the finish. I would give this a couple of years in bottle. Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
