Tasting note: As is often the case with Coche's wines, they drink well young and old. From 750 ml it is slightly fat and forward yet on the nose yet there is plenty of material here plus sneaky acidity to suggest that there is more yet to come. There is a hint of botrytis on the hugely long and sweet flavors that display a touch of toasty oak on the enormously long flavors. In a word, this is brilliant. Consistent notes and drink perfectly now. (95pts. Allen Meadows, AKA “The Burghound”)

Tasting note: Fabulous balance, showing rich, round and creamy texture, but it stays the course with racy acidity and elegance. Lots of depth and complexity, with honey, hazelnut, nectarine and smoke flavors. Drinkable now. (93pts. Wine Spectator)

Tasting note: The 1992 Corton-Charlemagne reveals a huge spicy, vanillin, buttery, coconut, and tropical fruit-scented nose, astonishingly rich, unctuously-textured flavors that linger on the palate, and enough glycerin, extract, and alcohol to satisfy the most demanding hedonist. It is softer than the exceptional Corton-Charlemagnes made in 1990 and 1989. (94-96pts. Robert Parker)
