The 2012 Promontory

Unwinding in the decanter and glass with a rich bouquet of blackcurrants

the wine opens with complex nuances of blackcurrant

it finishes long and pure

som smukt løftes af cedertræ

Opalie de Coutet, Bordeaux Blanc, 2023, 75cl vinsmagning The 2012 PromontoryMedium lemon gold colored, the 2010 Coutet is relatively evolved, revealing honey nut, ginger ale and baked peaches scents with touches of straw, fresh figs, quince paste and nutmeg. The palate is considerably more mature than when I last reviewed this wine a couple of years old, so I suspect this bottle may have been slightly oxidized, nevertheless it offers loads of nutty nuances accenting the dried fruits, finishing deliciously spicy.
