CHÂTEAU COUTET Barsac 2005

This outrageously good Barsac is a blend of 75% Semillon with 23% Sav Blanc and 2% Muscadelle. The wine comes from a limestone based soil and was aged 18 months (70% new) in French oak. This Coutet has aromas of bananas foster, creme brulee, golden delicious apple and vanilla cream. There are flavors of lemon/lime, creme brulee, butterscotch, and candied Meyer lemon. This is incredibly balanced and has a dry, saline streak. This seamless wine will drink brilliantly into the next decade. (Best 2015-2028) - December, 2015 (OB)
