Score 80/100 · Drink 1986, Robert Parker, Jan 1998

A good but rather uninspired effort from Coutet, the 1980 lacks richness and depth, even for the lighter-scaled wines of Coutet. Nevertheless, the wine is perfect as an aperitif Barsac, and can do double duty with lighter, not too sweet desserts. Anticipated maturity: Now. Last tasted, 3/86.
