I have tried several Coche Dury CC's over the years so am familiar the soaring aromatics over the top flavors. This bottle however was not in the same league. Purchased upon release and stored at 55 degrees, the wine seemed like it was in a dumb phase or an off bottle. It was ok but with muted nose and dull flavors. I bought two so will wait a few years to try the second.

There was a strange evolution throughout the several hours I was able to sample it. Upon opening it was obvious it would be very special. Medium thick, lots of waxy fruit, so energetic it seemed almost over-the-top. I could see the clear resemblance to the voluptuous Coches of the past. Just minutes later it settled down quite a bit; less rambunctious, less aromatic. For the next hour it was superbly elegant, focused and getting younger and less expressive. Then, the fragrance almost disappeared and the flavor was shorter, more evanescent, less thrilling. Perhaps with more time it will sort itself out.

Served double blind next to the ‘88 Drouhin Montrachet. While a completely different experience, this wine was no slouch. It was just much younger than its wine flight mate. Incredibly pure, vibrant, and overtly expressive. The nose was mind blowing with white flowers, citrus, lemon zest, crushed minerals with a persistent and long finish. Yum!

Got to drink this in the context of plenty of other great white burgs including 14 coche perrieres ( off), 02 coche CC ( delicious), 97 CC (off), and 14 CC. The 10 continues to show young. It is remains massively concentrated and lacks some of the purity of the 14 which would be my only complaint. To sit with the 10 and the 14 side by side was mesmerizing and over powered my senses. 96/97
