  I did not take notes but this bottle was outstanding and very memorable. Still very fresh and in a great drinking window.

  ‘89 Perrieres pitted against ‘89 Rougeots by a leading Coche Collector. Both absolutely perfect. Impossibly fresh. Have never seen a white burg this old show as clean and pure as both of these. It was truly neck and neck, the Rougeots stood up to the Perrieres and even showed stronger for the first while. The reduction is inimitably Coche and is wonderful, but there is so much more to these than just that matchstick on top, effortlessly powerful and massive but so nimble and cut. Both in the top whites I’ve ever had actually. Coche is almost always brilliant no matter what, and nothing smells quite the same, but these both took it to a whole other level of excellence. Damn close to perfect-100.

  Drank alongside the 1986 Coche Corton Charlemagne, 1986 Roulot MP, and 1996 Leroy Corton Charlemagne.
  
  Wow from beginning to finish. This started off with the classic Coche aroma of flint that was less prominent on the 86 CC. On initial sip it was perfect in every way: the fruit, the acid, the precision. Everything was perfectly integrated, extremely elegant, and nuanced. A wine that makes you vow not to open any more Coche MP prior to its 30th birthday (knowing that you will fail miserably and happily). The greatness of it is only highlighted by drinking it next to other great wines. Not much else to say except that it’s a 100 point wine if there ever was one.

  Ever so slightly corked. Nose was otherwise intact with petrol, mineral and lemon zest notes. Palate showed the effects somewhat more. Not a bad wine all things considered, but this bottle was not entirely what it should have been

  This wine shows what a perfectly sound 20 year old Coche Perrieres can be before The Plague began. Super rich, massive amounts of brown butter and popcorn but no caramel or sign of overripeness. Better yet, there's excellent acidity to hold this behemoth together. Viscous as whole milk at least and a lot more fun to drink. Of course it's mature but there is no sign of fatigue much less decline. My tablemates tasting it blind were thinking it was a Leflaive Batard from the mid nineties.
