Pale to medium lemon-gold colored, the 2018 Coutet has super intense, well-delineated notions of warm pineapple, green guava and baked pineapple with hints of mandarin peel, gingerbread, orange blossoms and lime leaves. The palate is alive with energetic tropical fruit and exotic spice notes with a lovely satiny texture and fantastic freshness, finishing with epic length. Score: 93 - 95 Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 30 April 2019 |

Pleasant center palate to this young Barsac. Medium-bodied and very sweet, but lacks a bit of botrytis for me. Score: 91 - 92 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 11 April 2019 |

There is clear quality here, with good persistency and some lovely minerality, if relatively little acidity. It has a strong golden colour, suggesting concentration, followed by luscious fruit flavours through the palate of apricot, peach, nectarine and cantaloupe melon, and bitter herbs on the finish. 50% new oak was used. A yield of just 3hl/ha. Drinking Window 2022 - 2040 Score: 94 Jane Anson, Decanter.com 06 April 2019 |

Lush, creamy and overt, with almond, ginger cream and maple notes draped over a dried apricot core. Displays good oomph but needs to stretch out a bit. Score: 90 - 93 James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 01 April 2019 |
