Some green highlights in a deep straw colour. Wonderfully powerful, very obvious Coche-Dury on the nose with a hint of honey and lots of hazelnuts and oak (still!). Unlike many '96s, this is very powerful and rigorous with sufficient extract to counterbalance the acidity.

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.

The cult wine per excellence hits another home run. Ripe but racy, with a lush, opulent and fat mouthfeel. Very attractive thanks to its richness, this vibrates on the palate as it powers its way to a toasty, ripe, velvety finish that will need years to show it all.
