Yes, it's Coche time. This is a wine that really benefited from being decanted. It was completely lacking a mid palate on opening, rather watery. Still attractive length, high acidity, lots of minerality and underlying sweetness.
Much more rounded with 60-90mins in the decanter. The mid palate makes an appearance. Salty/saline on the nose. Touch of residual smokiness on the finish.
Not as much richness as I would have expected from 2009 vintage.

This wine is case in point why Coche are such a great producer. Served blind it was one of the wines of the day. It poured out such a fresh, clear colour. The nose had some struck match, lemon and minerals. It was cool in the mouth and textural. The finish had great cut.

Very average white wine: nothing special, hence not worth the price tag

Needs air. Somewhat flat for 1-2 hours, but eventually opened up.
Elegant and a great wine! Good length.

Coche 09. Super impressive. Very approachable and nice tension. Salty/saline flavours.
