Pale to medium gold colored, the 2009 Coutet leaps from the glass with warm apple pie, dried mango, fresh straw, lemongrass, ginger and crème caramel notes. The rich, concentrated, unctuous flavors are lifted by amazing freshness, finishing epically long, layered and with a tantalizing nuttiness. LPB - The Wine Advocate
A triumph for the vintage with spices, dried mushroom, dried pineapple, peaches, and honey. Full and sweet with bright acidity and a long, intense finish. Powerful wine. This could be the best Coutet ever. Better in 2015. - James Suckling
Very lightly toasty, this is more floral for now, with lively honeysuckle and pineapple notes up front, giving way to richer hints of warm brioche, fig, glazed pear and lemon shortbread that should emerge more with time. The long, lacy finish has the poise and balance for long-term cellaring. Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Best from 2014 through 2034. 5,000 cases made. - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator
The 2009 Coutet has a more muted nose than previous bottles, although it just needs aeration, revealing dried honey, white peach and light tangerine. White flower hints emerge with time. The palate is very well balanced with much more precision than previous vintages and more intensity with a tensile finish that lingers. This was the best Coutet firing on all cylinders and is highly recommended. Tasted from an exchâteau bottle served at the estate.-Neal Martin, Vinous Media
Tasted blind. Deep gold. Very big and massive and yet fresh, with enormous weight but tension too. Almost hot! Dense. - Jancis Robinson
