  1999 Coche Meursault: (Domaine & Selection) I’ve been wrestling with this for two days to try to figure out what’s its deal is. While it is definitely unduly advanced for its age I don’t think it is prematurely oxidized, or at least that isn’t the only issue. The nose has baked apple and cinnamon. Honey and cereal grain. The citrus is more of a synthetic pine-sol / lemon pledge now. The palate though has big mineral and acid with a fairly precise back palate and finish, and I think that would be all gone in a cooked or oxidized bottle. More in the way of heavy saffron and botrytis, to an incorrect and unpleasant extent. Have had one or two Testavin bottlings of Coche but never a Domaine & Selection, and this is proving very strange. Not comparable to the last two times I’ve had ‘99 Coche Meursault, or really any other Coche at all. Disappointing both comparatively and absolutely.

  Klar, lys lett gyllen gul med lett grønnstikk. Mineralsk nese med lett røkpreg, treverk, lime, sitronolje og med toner av akasiehonning. Bløt og glatt frukt, med en nesten oljete struktur. God intensitet. Spiss og presis syre. Saftig og leskende utgang, med nydelig mineralitet og et lett røkstikk. Svært lang.
