COCHE-DURY
Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru--Vintage 1996
Domaine-bottled: Coche-Dury
Tasting note: The full-bodied Corton-Charlemagne, displaying unbelievable depth to its spicy pear, white peach and floral aromas, is an awesomely rich as well as perfectly delineated and balanced wine. This oily-textured tour de force has an embracing, almost enveloping, flavor profile crammed with intense stones, minerals, super-ripe pears, waves of nuts and minerals, and touches of grilled toast. The taster's palate is held prisoner by the interminable layers and layers of concentrated, highly-extracted, and powerful fruit that roll across it, each sublimely defined and focused by this wine's racy acidity. This show-stopper should reach its peak by 2003 and hold it through 2010. (96-99 points). Pierre Rovani, Wine Advocate #115, February 1998
