If you can find it

seductively textured and palate staining flavors that possess good volume and a taut muscularity on the long and powerful finish

A deft application of wood still allows free reign to the earthy and spicy red berry fruit aromas that complement the rich

Coutet Cuvee Madame Vintage:2001 830 cases madeThe 1995 Coutet Cuve Madame has a less flamboyant bouquet than other vintages, quite tight at first with dried honey, pain dpices, barley sugar and wax resin aromas. The palate is well balanced with a viscous, waxy textured opening, quite spicy in style, very well balanced and fresh, quite mineral driven, with that Manuka honey lingering long on the finish. Excellent. (145gm L residual sugar, 3. 5gm L total acidity, 13. 5% alcohol). Neal Martin
