"Why don't we drink more Sauternes? Coutet 2004 is a deep gold, richly textured darling of a wine with Seville orange marmalade-dried apricot richness and elegant wafts of vanilla and spicy oak. Viscous but not heavy; intense but not overbearing; sweet but fresh with acidity--precisely the kind of dessert wine that warrants a second glass... Excellent. 2004 vintage tasted 15 Sept 2014"
