Colour initially quite dark which tempted a certain very generous someone to write it off immediately, but the first sniff and sip were superb and this was a lovely mature example. Spearmint rhino. A lot of white spice and heaps of golden fruit. The duelling ‘89 Coches which came first were mindbendingly excellent bottles, which didn’t serve this wine well. This was great but I think showed it’s age in an honest mature way. Not fading or tired, just reaching deeper levels of development. Rich, dense, massively delicious.

2nd Most Epic Burgundy Dinner (Boulevard - San Francisco CA): From magnum Served blind following the Coche CC and Ramonet Montrachet flight. All open several hours before serving. Stunning wine. Still fresh fruit, great spice, concentration and harmony. Easily amongst my top 5 white wines ever tasting.
I took 1/2 glass back to my hotel in a plastic "to go" soup container. It sat on the desk overnight and was almost as sensational at room temp this morning.

Started off a bit funky which was worrisome. Mint nose, exotic. So we put the glasses aside for 30 minutes. And The funk is gone and it begins it ascent from peak to peak. Soaring. Astounding. Yes.

Fading bottle but showed some remaining fruit and acidity for the first 30 minutes. 89-90

Startout a little funky on the nose but that blew off after 30 minutes. Just kept getting better and better with time. Mint, petrol, crazy stuff here.
