Opalie de Coutet, Bordeaux Blanc, 2023, 75cl Seasonal Tasting Château Pontet-Canet 2015 pairs particularlyMedium 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.
