1990 Nicolas Joly Coulee de Serrant: (Commentary)

Here are my (short) tasting notes:
Color: Mid->Dark apple juice yellow/brown.
Warmed up beautifully and needed the decant (the man knows what he's doing with those paper inserts that say "serve at X celsius and decant for a long time.")
Lovely sweet herbal aromatics and that classic Joly green-tea on the attack.
Excellent mid-palate of surprising freshness and acidity. While fun up-front, the real treat was the finish. LONG. Rich. Would have with a steak with it even at this age, or just enjoy on a cool November night with a lawn chair. Not for the faint of heart.
