Opened at Otto e Mezzo. Slow-oxed for 2 hours before enjoying over lunch.
Coche is Coche. Gorgeous nose of popcorn and caramel, balanced by a flintiness and acidity that put everything in place. Wonderfully round and whole on the palate despite the sharpness. No hint of reduction at all - just buttery wonder that kept on coming in a finish that never seemed to end.
This is in a perfect spot right now. Will still keep for a little while assuming good storage and provenance, but I don't see this getting much better. Perhaps my best experience with Coche Meursault ever, and just shows why this Domaine is in a different league. Thanks to M for the amazing treat - best xmas present ever!

Like previous bottle, a slightly golden color when opened and decanted 90 minutes before drinking. Blossomed slowly, but ultimately was gorgeous and was the consensus favorite of the trio (2007, 2012, 2017).

A hint of the nutty prototypical meursault note, though very RESTRAINED relative to nearly all of the meursault I’ve previously had. A green note — spicy finish (wow). Crisp, clean palate, quite a lengthy finish. @ Napa Boys Trip

Two bottles of U.S. import labels, presumably Narvaux. Both aromatically precise, so Coche, light flint, intense white fruit, sharp minerality. I find myself coming back to this wine throughout the evening, and was even more excited when the second bottle got popped. Straight out of the bottle great. 94

In a good place. All the classic Coche notes. Good balance.
