SAUTERNES & BARSAC
191. Château Coutet, Barsac “Slightly toasted orange rind and vanilla caramel on the nose. Lovely density and unctuousness on the palate, really quite rich and fleshy with peach, sweet pineapple and toasted almond notes on the palate. Mouthwatering and racy, but also textured, balanced and structured. A great effort with excellent ageing potential.” Drink 2025 - 2048 94 pts, Decanter 434256 375 ml $55 192. Château Doisy Daëne, Barsac “The 2021 Doisy Daëne stands out for its delightful bouquet of ripe orchard fruits, passion fruit, exotic fruits and spring flowers. Medium-bodied, tense and lively, it’s concentrated for the vintage, with a stunning freshness and a saline finish enhanced by bright acids. While it may not reach the complexity and richness of the most memorable Doisy Daëne vintages, its flawless execution is undeniable.” Drink 2024 - 2044 94 pts, Wine Advocate 412117 375 ml $50 193. Château de Rayne-Vigneau, Sauternes “Thick and ample in the mouth, weighty and full of sweet orange peel, slightly wild honey, spiced lemon and pineapple, a real mixture of flavours and textures in the mouth. Doesn’t have the sugary density of some, this is more focussed and straight with a lightness of touch come the finish, but I like it’s style and character.” Drink 2025 - 2049 94 pts, Decanter 434269 375 ml $60
