The 1997 Coutet Cuvée Madame is a vintage that I have tasted a couple of time before. This has a more Aszu-like bouquet that has become more resinous in recent years. This is not flamboyant like the 2003, more linear and perhaps more noble. The palate is beautifully balanced with real Barsac character, very mineral driven underneath those layers of botrytised fruit with tangy marmalade and quince towards the persistent finish. This is one of the most intellectual Cuvée Madam vintages that I have tasted in recent years. Magnificent. (156gm/L residual sugar, 3.8gm/L total acidity, 13.5% alcohol).
