Shortly after open, on the nose: signature coche gunflint, white blossoms, vanilla, peaches, lemon, light herbal quality.
On the palate, there's a slight hint of ripe mangoes and pineapples wrapped with lemon, black pepper, wet stones, and a bit of lemon pith. Mid palate is more on the savory side. Body is not too heavy (medium+). Finish is long and sometimes a bit of ripe pineapple shines through.
After 2-2.5hrs of air as it opened, meyer lemons, tropical fruits like apricot and mango, and florals dominate on the nose. On the palate, the same fruits dominate, where it's supported by the spice and minerals and slight bitterness in the background. The way how the fruit shows is beautiful. Delicious!

Showing very well though not much of Coche flint. Good length and creamy buttery texture that have many guess this was a BBM / BM etc. The length definitely punches at least a great 1er Cru / entry Grand Cru level, and this is just a village.

Flinty nose, great fruit. I cannot say enough about Coche. They do it over and over again.

Trying again - no TCA now but a little hint of dust / tiny impurities. Still a great wine with good precision and depth, lovely nose.

This is so round and smooth - a great wine - sadly a hint of TCA in this bottle but not tainting overall expression too much
