This is a fabulous sweet wine from Bordeaux.

Dark Golden in color.

Beautiful sweet nose of honey, yellow apples, apricots, honeysuckle, lemons, caramel, spices and white pepper.

Full bodied and bold, with high acidity.

Sweet on the palate with honey, citrus, tropical fruits, spices, lemons and brown sugar.

Long, long finish with citrus and limes.

This 8 year old still feels very young and concentrated. Nicely balanced with lots of acidity to balance the sugars. Tangy and interesting with a heavy mouthfeel.

Rich, yet elegant. Sweet and powerful. Creamy and bold. A delicious experience.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

A great vintage that shows its power. Already showing great complexity, but will age nicely in the next 50 years.

Decadent and delicious. A fabulous dessert wine.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

2019 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 3 hours. Medium-heavy body. Plenty of dark fruits in the nose. Brooding and taut with graphite and refined mineral influence topped with black plum coulis. 12.7.23. — 7 months ago

Still going strong but happy I drank it now. A wine that is linear in texture, less viscous- think whole milk and not heavy cream. Fresh black olives, tart black currant and plum with leathery notes. Tannins are gripping but fine and integrated- no soft velvety micro-oxygenated tannin here. Structurally very pleasant and balanced. — 2 years ago

2016. Red and black fruit with firm tannins. More of a traditionalist style but very approachable now. Rich. A lot of body without being heavy. — 3 years ago

2001 vintage (great Napa cab year). Good, upper-shoulder fill. Dryish cork. Decanted with plenty of sed. Lots of color. Tasted immediately. Smoky plummy nose. Still medium-heavy body. Showing well with plenty of front-palate richness evident in the gums. Overt "oakiness" gone with only complimentary, flattering oak framing the composition at this point. A hint of tannins on the finish but you've got to know where to look. Summer-school hedonism. Slightly better than expected. 11.30.23. — 7 months ago

Bold and heavy notes of woody herbs and raw meat on the nose mingle with deep dark black cherries and a licorice-like finish. — 2 years ago

Medium gold, heavy in the glass. Killer Cochey nose. Notes of apricot, lemon, crushed stone, petrol, oak and tan spice. Palate-staining in the mouth with a core of fruit matched with tingling acidity. This is in a perfect drinking window. Coche village wine in 99 is often on par with 1ers and GCs. — 3 years ago
