Very reductive and flinty when first opened, but also a bit tart and ungiving. As the wine warmed up and aired out, it filled in and became very much like a premier cru white Burgundy. Lengthy, mineraly finish.

Super reductive; matchstick, popcorn, lemon, corn with high acidity reminiscent of PYCM or high level chenin from certain parts of loire. Too tight now, so would keep my hands of them the next couple of years - start drinking in 2-3. The 2022 is more creamy and put together, so open or buy to drink them instead for now. That being said, it is still an amazing wine from the highest strata and I think the 2023 is going be …

Wine Mafia Dinner @ Madre : The other other Coche? This was interesting, very very reductive, matchstick and flint. As described at the table "a wine that fights you." Qualitatively excellent, less my personal style but fun to drink outside the box.

Wine pairing, short note from memory. Yeah the name says it all, another Coche Dury imitation, but quite a successful one. Very similar also to something like Dog Point, that means: matchstick, reductive, mineral freshness. Quite nice already. 17.5/20

Six months since the last bottle and this is now the best bottle of the case so far. Restrained and harmonious. Just the outlines of really pure quince-y fruits and a hard bead of salinity down the middle. Perfume nose with ylang-ylang and a drydown of chypre. Legit art on the nose. Beautiful example that reminds me of why I love this wine so much. Sadly, it only took about an hour for the bloom to fade and this picked …

Balanced for a short spell and then the caramel was too much. Not a bad bottle, but not delivering its best.

A really solid bottle. Just a slight hint of dark caramel gives undertones to taut acids and minerality on the attack. Good balance. The most nicely mature bottle to date.

Two bottles opened. One was darker, more gold in color with the oak elements being dominant and a bit of sourness overall. Warming up and decanted with a lot of swirl, improved but still disappointing and disjointed. Second bottle was better, but still disjointed a bit and while the oak was not as dominant, it was obvious. Good texture and richness as I expect from this wine though.

A bit more reticent than previous bottle with some obvious treatment notes. Still quite good, but a bit less.

Really leveled up from a few months ago. Crisp and taut. Lemon zest and electric aromatics. Lighter body with more precision. Mineral cut and quince-y savory elements in the middle. Long finish with finesse. Light but immaculate structure. Slight kiss of bourbon. Beautiful.

A blend of the local Portuguese grapes arinto, rabigato and codega do larinho. High altitude vineyards up to about 600 meters and old vines with age up to 100 years help to make this an extremely successful wine. Stored for 12 months on French barrique. Aired in decanter for 5 hours prior to serving. Delicious florality in the direction of orange blossom, yellow apples, citrus, white peach, quite mineral with distinct flint aromas, smoke, wet stone, hazelnuts, some butter tones. …

I ❤️ this wine so hard, even if this was a slightly weaker version. Perfect intersection of mineral taut PT white with opulent techniques.

A bit muted on the nose, but fireworks on the palate. Florals, pink grapefruit, lemons, citrus pith, botanicals and a hint of crushed stones on the crisp, clean, lengthy finish. So much precision and tension. This will be interesting to follow in the upcoming years.

Soirée du réveillon du 31 décembre 2019 chez Val & Alex : Au nez on s'oriente vers un vin demi-sec: Loire? Alsace? Or la bouche est clairement exempte de sucre résiduel. Des fruits mûrs, certes, mais également des fleurs blanches. Une vin équilibré sans lourdeur, et même assez frais, d'une texture soyeuse. Une nouveauté pour moi: très bon!

Dinner at Feitoria, Lisbon (Feitoria, Belem, Lisbon) : By the glass at Feitoria in Lisbon. The nose took awhile in the glass to get going, but it was very subtly pleasant when it did, with notes of chalk, white fruit, citrus kumquats, and white flowers gently billowing out of the glass, all this underlined with a lovely schisty mineral twang. I really liked the palate on this - dry, minerally, schisty, yet with nice juicy gobs of fruit: I tasted …

Portugal's White Burgundy doppelganger. Steely and smoky with saline and lemon pith notes. An impressive bottle of wine from anywhere in the world, and even more so given from such a warm place!

Yellow color with a bouquet and flavor of pear apples with pleasant acidity. Medium body with some nuance and a moderate finish. Drunk at the one-star Restaurant Caelis at the end of a beautiful day in Barcelona. Much better than the sparkling wine that preceded it.

Lovely wine, full of peach, pear and vanilla. A bit of roundness on entry, but crisp, long and lifted on the finish. Seems like this would have upside for the medium term.
