August 16, 2019 - (Restaurant in Bordeaux) I've experienced a lot of bottle variation with the Clos de la Coulee de Serrant, but this was a very good bottle. Very complex aromatically, fresh with bright acidity, less oxidative in character than many other vintages and bottles. Long, complex, rich while being light, saline. A beautiful wine.

August 11, 2019 - We decanted the wine about 2 hours before dinner. The wine needed considerable air before it blossomed. Honeysuckle, mountain meadow flowers, hay and hints of flint and stone. it was very crisp and balanced. Very long on the palate. Just an excellent wine but it does require time in a decanter

March 25, 2016 - Telling tales of oxidation were sherry like aroma traces on the nose and finish. For the rest it still seemed sharply focussed and mineral with fine acidity and backbone. After extracting one glass, I recorked the bottle and placed it back in the fridge to see if a miracle happens after a day's exposure to air. In spite of having once been advised to decant Coulée de S 24 hours in advance, I'm not optimistic.
PS on 3/26/16 - No miracle but a very slight diminution of the sherry odour. Without that it could have been very like what Brad described. A big shame but at 31 years hardly a one-off flawed bottle, so rated.
