  @barpigalle Wine Social Hour, theme of Chenin Blanc .. PnP began with an intense complex nose of hay, citrus, and earth. Big intense rich, broad, with zingy acid (med+) that built all day. Medium tannin on back and into long finish of tanginess. So many flavors of ripe tree and stone fruits, minerality, and herbs. Should have allowed to breathe a bit - sipped over 2 hours and kept getting more interesting!

  Pop and pour. As usual, overfilled btl and some mold on the saturated cork under the capsule. Just lovely. Pure honey, oxidative lemon, a soft touch of lanolin. Golden in color. On the palate: fantastic acidity and richness. Intense sour tangerine, lemon oil, confited peach, juxtaposed against spice and white pepper. Fantastic complexity and in an excellent place right now.

  5 years since the last bottle.
  
  Some mould under the cap but wine was in very good order. Decanted 5 hours.
  
  Yellow gold colour. Very expressive nose from opening: citrus, minerally, honey and a little chemical.
  
  In the mouth, very full and bursting with flavour. Mineral to the fore, citrus, honey, lanolin as others mentioned and with time in the glass some tropical fruit, mango. Nice acidity and a lingering finish.
  
  The high alcohol wasn’t as bothersome this time and in general all the flavour components were more resolved. Very fine and loved it.
  
  Sadly last 2011 but I have some 2015….12 years seems a good age to happy to wait on those.

  18ct golden color; This wine is quite idiosyncratic: Nose of marzipan, bitter almond; touch of aldehyde like in a "vin jaune", some chamomile plus a medley of other undefinables .
  On the palate a whiff of honey, turkish delight without the sweetness, hint of "retsina", again a bit of chamomile, lanolin; good complexity.
  An interesting, intriguing and good mouthful of wine. The best bottle of Coulee de Serrant I have had to date.
