More substance than the echezeaux, dense core, musty cherries but elegant at the same time, first time ever experience of this cuvée. Needs patience will be wonderful in next 10 years. — 6 days ago

This wine is often described as meaty which could be a sign of Brett. None of this was evident, showing better than the grand echezeaux we sampled before. Earthy, bing cherries, salty, medium body. Quite a joy to drink now. Pure and refined. — 6 days ago

The wine has evolved much more than I thought it would. Color has dropped out significantly. Still a very good medium bodied rayas but drink now. Elegance of 100 pct Grenache still absolutely there. Drinking coche and reynauld next to eachother is a rare treat. — 9 days ago

Just perfect whether a 1/2 or a full bottle. Primary taste of white flowers, lychee, peach and pineapple. Perfect acidity, bitterness and off sweet. Now 10 to 15 years waiting for these secondary tastes to develop. Quite a challenge to not touch something this good earlier. — 4 days ago

9.3

Old fashioned Barolo, difficult to get the wine to sing at an an outside terasse with a 9.5 centigrade temp outside. Enjoyable a bit austere. — 10 days ago
