40th anniversary tasting (L'Esprit du Vin - Axelborg): My notes from this fantastic gigantic tasting are in general extremely short (because of the many wines) but with ratings. We spent a whole day tasting and tasting quality wines.
This wine: Tasted 3 vintages: 2014, 2013, 2009. Unfortunately I have almost no verbal notes but they were all excellent. 2014: 92. 2013: Herbaceous 93. 2009: First bottle was oxidized, second bottle was very oxidative but not too old. 92. I loved it but drink now! I am not experienced with Joly but the wines were served by the winemaker himself, so I believe the wine's advanced development stage has nothing to do with storage conditions.

High toned, oxidative, with some leesy, sherry like notes that remind me of a vin jaune. Not my favorite vintage for Coulee de Serrant but always a treat

A legendary wine. I can count myself lucky with this bottle that had no defects at all. An exceptional wine, a beautiful aromatic complexity: honey, grapefruit, quince, vanilla, thyme. And more almonds, mango and nutmeg. Perfectly balanced acidity and body. Elegant, dense and long finish. A wine to remember. Warning, do not taste it too cold: you risk losing the very philosophy and essence of this wine.

柠檬、柑橘、黄苹果,柔和的燧石和辛香味,还有一些微甜的蜂蜜与丁香。在酸度引领下,结构立体而宽广,带来悠扬的回响。并不是艳丽或清冷这样一眼可见的风格,但因循自己的节奏,在螺旋上升般的过程中逐渐讲述着自己的故事,优雅而含蓄。
这款分数算出来其实有点纠结。从质量上来说,会觉得89是个合适的分数——我甚至吐槽了它800+的均价有些虚高。但从喝起来的感受来说,这个分数又不足以表现其过程之愉悦。就像有些故事也许并不波澜壮阔、曲折起伏,但自有一种令人陷入沉静、想要聆听下文的魔力。这种风格化的体验与价值之类的元素无关。

nose was pretty typical of this wine, reductive and slightly pungent, with honey and pollen notes. Pretty ripe and rounded on the palate.
