Rare and esteemed Coutet stored in for 50+ years in Hampshire cellar. Mid to high shoulder. Would grace any Christmas table, especily the pudding!
Here s a recent review from NM.
95 - Vinous - Neal Martin
The 1937 Coutet has a lucid amber color. The bouquet springs out of the glass with gorgeous notes of honey, overripe apricots, blood orange and a touch of adhesive, a tincture often found on old Barsac wines. The palate is viscous on the entry, and after so many decades continues to exhibit the concentration that the 1937 vintage bestowed. That is counterbalanced by the acidity that keeps this Coutet beautifully balanced and complements that mandarin, orange zest, toffee and almond notes fanning out gloriously on the finish. If you want to quibble, perhaps the 1937 does not exude refinement, and yet the weight and persistence on the finish elicits so much enjoyment that I don’t really care all that much. The 1937 Coutet appears to be going strong. I would not be surprised if it reaches a century old and tastes the same as it does today!
