This is attractive with an array of spiced dark fruit, cedar and wet stones running through it. Medium body with aa toned, meaty structure. Flavorful finish.
Château Coutet - AOP Saint-Emilion Grand Cru
92 - Wine Enthusiast
This estate in Saint-Emilion, the oldest in the hands of the same family, has produced a wine with plenty of potential. It is still structured, the black fruit and licorice aromas reflected in the dense tannins and black currant flavors. Drink from 2027.
92 - James Suckling
Spiced cherries, plums, iron and a touch of chocolate. Round, fresh and fleshy on the palate with medium to full body and firm, polished tannins. Structured and pretty long. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
91 - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Prayssac, the 2022 Coutet offers up aromas of cassis, spices, licorice and dark wild berries intertwined with menthol hints. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and velvety, it's framed by a good chassis of tannins and has good depth at the core enhanced by a delicately oaky touch in the mid-palate, concluding with a long, licorice-inflected finish. This is a well-crafted, classic Saint-Émilion grand cru.
