Instantly lovable nose of buttered popcorn and toasted almonds. Not the most complex Coche I've tasted. A little one dimensional, or dare I say "new world"!?

Fabulous nose of charcoal, cigar, dark fruits and licorice. Gets better and better in the glass. Complex and long finish. Glorious!

I'm sure very good on its own, but this evening got completely ran over by the sheer power and finesse of the Baron served side by side.

Exotic nose of chinese tea leaves, sweet cherries and smoked herbs. Very fresh for its age. Lovely.

Dense, dark and powerful. Still very youthful. While no doubt a very good wine, seems a bit one dimensional compared to other wines this evening, and a bit too sweet and syrupy for my liking.
