18 Rene Gabriel
Recht dunkles Gelb. Reiches, ausladendes Bouquet, fein marmeladige, schwere Frucht und eine druckvolle Süsse zeigend. Im Gaumen reich, füllig mit einer wunderbaren Süsse die mit frisch gekochten Aprikosen und Pektinnoten gefüllt ist, im Finale lang und den Reichtum dieses tollen Weines nochmals unterstreichend. trinken (2007 - 2030)

Aromas of apple, almond and honey follow through to a medium body, with bitter orange, lemon and spice flavors and a light finish. Slightly disappointing, but a good sweetie. Best after 2007. ?JS

Château Coutet
Recognized as one of the finest wines in its appellation, Château Coutet was classed as a First Growth in 1855. One of the oldest estates in the Sauternes region, Coutet has an outstanding terroir and architectural heritage. Its origins date back to the late 13th or early 14th century, as evidenced by a tower similar in style to those built at forts during the English occupation of Aquitaine. Château Coutet belonged to the de Lur Saluces family for over a century and is currently owned and managed by Philippe and Dominique Baly, with technical and commercial assistance from Baron Philippe de Rothschild S.A., who have exclusive distribution rights. The name Coutet comes from the Gascon word for couteau, or knife, in reference to the wine's fresh, vibrant acidity and unique crispness. When young, Château Coutet has aromas of white flowers, citrus, honey, and vanilla. With age, the botrytis character comes through in a deep, delicate bouquet with hints of spice and candied fruit.
