Coutet 1990

A lovely amber color with hints of orange, the wine’s nose, ample and rich, opens on complex notes of dried fruits, beeswax, spices (nutmeg, ginger) and candied apricots mixed with more subtle notes of orange liqueur and zests of candied citrus fruits, expressing all the generosity of this powerful vintage. A beautiful attack on the palate reveals a smooth texture. The concentration of the botrytis reveals itself in an array of flavors where one can find aromatic nuances of candied fruits (apricot and pineapple), crystallized quince, spices and orange liqueur…without losing its freshness. The finish is lengthy, rich and expressive; everything is harmonious in this most anthological vintage, which produced powerful, refined and balanced wines.
