Nose is a lively mix of pure apricot, honey, smell-able acids, some honey and a humus-like note. Intensely concentrated on the palate. Texturally there’s a feel of a tannin-like quality on the palate, but this is not a criticism. The honeyed quality is intense.

I am amazed that sitting with this wine this weekend actually showed better than from a 1.5L several years ago. Glorious in all of its unctuous splendor, the 2003 Chateau Coutet is one of the great wines made this vintage. The balance mid-palate is incredible, as is the unctuous texture. Rich vanilla creme brulee, butterscotch and roasted pineapple tones combine with minerals, and sour mango on the palate. With serious weight and verve, this is really singing now at the seventeen year mark and will continue to provide drinking enjoyment at least for another decade. Drink 2020-2032- 96

Beautiful nose of dried apricot and honey. Really nice persistence. The acids are very low but the fruit intensity is lovely.

Peach skin, ginger, candied orange, apricot kernel, aspirin. Incredibly primary still. Delicious.

Hot vintage but oh, so good. Viscous honey, white peach and sexy

Vibrant aromas of honey, oranges and fresh figs. On the palate, wonderful dried figs, smoky agave syrup.

Apricot, honey, brown sugar, marmalade--unctuous, low acid, possibly a bit too evolved (maybe storage related), still enjoyable
