1989 Chateau Coutet Cuv«_e Madame

Tasting Note:

Tiny quantities are made of Coutets Cuvee Madame a spectacularly rich Barsac that along with Yquem is the quintessential example of what heights a great sweet wine can achieve. The 1988 1989 and 1990 vintages are nearly perfect wines. The 1990 is the richest and most powerful but the 1988s extraordinary perfume is other-worldly. All three wines offer a profound bouquet of smoky toasty new oak combined with honeyed peaches and apricots as well as coconuts and a touch of creme brulee. With extraordinarily rich full-bodied marvelously extracted personalities as well as wonderful underlying acidity these are spectacular wines. Source: Wine Advocate
