Unfortunately a vastly different experience than the last time. Bottle from the same source too. This was overripe and moderately oxidized. Overripe pineapple and mango and lacking the classic Coche reduction. Flabby.

Hawaiian Escape; 11/19/2016-11/26/2016 (Kuki'o): This nose has a distinct dose of Coche reductiveness while maintaining pure Puligny minerality. Ripe tropical fruit meets wet slate. Pronounced granite. Traces of smoke too. Highly expressive and nuanced. Rich, mouthcoating flavours while retaining striking precision, minerals, and high acid. A fascinating comparison to the 1996 Caillerets side by side.

Amazing acidity. This is absurdly youthful with popcorn notes and notes of asssscidity. Very laser focused even at age 21.
