« Ce château Coudert, couleur rubis vif, au bouquet naissant de fruits rouges, d’amande et de nuances mentholées est ample, tonique et bien charpenté en bouche ». Château Coudert 2009 / Guide Hachette 2013
The 2015 Coudert is decidedly ripe, plummy and flamboyant. Crème de cassis, raspberry, hard candy, sweet spices, menthol and new leather are all pushed forward in this racy Saint-Émilion. This is one of the riper 2015 Saint-Émilions I tasted, yet there is a good deal of floral-infused aromatic lift that provides just the enough freshness to keep things in check. Château Coudert 2015 / Antonio Galloni (87-90)
