Coutet Cuvee Madame Vintage:1995 This is a good time

This is a good time to start popping corks on this beauty

apple and acacia

The mouthfeel is thickly woven and generous

This wine has begun to come of age

Sweet and not that typical

Coutet Cuvee Madame Vintage:1995 This is a good timeThe 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
