Intense 2002 citrus acidity, very fresh and just the slightest of ox notes...creamed up better as it opened, but seems to need some serious time. Nice florals and smoky minerality, honey ginger mousse...in need of some aged polish. +pts

HUGE stank sulphur nose, more so then the last couple bottles I've had... really need to air out. Under the stank, there is some nice freshness of lemon, pitted orchard fruits, grapefruit...chalky saline minerals, caramel cream...yet doesn't have the well roundedness like Chardonnay...more sharp edges. Get past the stank nose, and it an ok for Aligote.

Wonderful Roulot...creamy with lemon/lime blossom florals, crushed limestone, slight match strike, orange peel, precise and focused fresh acidity...loved this!

Still holding on! Ripe yellow fruits, bruised apple, honeycomb spice, smoked vanilla bean reduction...little vein of lemon acidity holding on...aged ox notes and dried honey showing. The oldest Marcassin I've had...seen better days, but still a fun drink.

Great bottle...still alive and fresh with well integrated plum, cassis, cherry fruits...dusty old cellar cedar, tobacco, licorice, mint/euc ala Martha's...smooth polished tannins, still with some kick left.

What a treat! Perfectly stored bottle...silky and pure dark berry fruits, cherry skin freshness, seamless, haunting aromas of dried flowers, tilled herb garden, cigar wrapper, sous bois...deep and engaging wine.

100% Syrah, big beast of a wine, yet still posses that seamless purity like the 15 reg just had. Not as floral as the 15, as there is no viognier here...darker liqueured berries, meatier with deep black pepper, earth spices, licorice, tobacco, smoked cherry, olive...dusty tannic grip, iron and minerals, yet still allows you to enjoy now, but with better things to come!

Seen better days...oxidative plum, earth dust, leather, dried roses, no pretty spices or freshness left in the old dude.

Had with the 10...HUGE sulfur reduction on the nose, needed a good decant and air to integrate...and it integrated like a champ! Amazing richness. power yet so precise and focused...LOVE the smoked reduction and subtle wood spice that is so Coche...and pureness of the orchard fruit, crushed stones, floral pretties...so much cream, yet so energized. Flat out amazing!

Awe inspiring wine! Had with the 04...started out pretty coiled and subtle, no reduction like the 04 had...but BOY did this wine snowball into and avalanche with some air and time! Amazing subtle power and elegance...the purest of pure fruits, seamless and perfectly ripe and creamy, yet energized with the very florals citrus acidity. Tons of chiseled minerals, kaleidoscope of spices, truffle, white flowers...just gigantic in every which way by the end of the night. As good as white Burgundy gets, and should only get better! Can't help but give this a perfect score now, yet will deserve even higher.

This wine fascinated me...had with the 04/10 CC...it was definitely the more exotic and riper of the 3 Coche wines...creamy with tropical fruits, and a cool orange streak in it, that actually gained in lift, and peacocked out with an array of citrus oil perfume. Again, still had great energy and crushed minerals to go with the riper fruits...not a "Perrieres" as I've had with the intense minerality from the vineyard...well integrated sweetness and subtle dusty wood spice...was at peak at end of the night.

Beautifully concentrated, yet with a lightness and tingle of acidity, to go along with the petrol and perceived sweetness, that's totally dry. Not as massively exotic as the 09...nice array of nectarine and peach, green tea, smoked herbs, citrus oils. Fresh acidity that seems a little mellow, yet still possessing great balance and tasty Riesling flavors. Not the epiphany as the 09 was for me though.

This will be MONUMENTAL in 10+years! Tight and chiseled with penetrating fresh lemon/lime acidity and crushed geology. Amazing how soft, yet massive this wine can be? Air and a little warmer temp opened it up, showing the classic waxiness, creamy pear and grapefruit tartness...subtle salty sea air, cold steel, herbs...amazing cut and clarity. LOVE LOVE this wine!+pts

Clean and extremely fresh with vibrant citrus, quince, candid pineapple...good dose of crushed minerals, slight petrol(clean), sea air salinity. Creamy texture, little wax, fresh flowers...and just a hint of that slight sherry ox you get in the Jura. Really tasty wine!

Had the 88 earlier in the day, which was amazing...but blown away by this 05! The most amazing liqueured red berry fruits, exotic potpourri of spices(Vosne spice and red Chambolle perfume)...SO silky smooth and elegant, yet with a sneaky powerful youthfulness that will continue to help this age effortlessly. Deep and mesmorizing flavors of red licorice, exotic smoked woods, dusty white pepper, charcuterie...all balanced and plush to perfection. I have to have some of this in the cellar!
