Coutet Cuvee Madame Vintage:2001 At present it lacks aThe 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.
