"Nicolas Jolyâs 2012 Clos de la CoulĂ©e de Serrant is a beautiful wine that is starting to show fine evolution on both the nose and palate and is starting to really hit its stride at age five. The bouquet offers up a bright and complex constellation of lemon, quince, candied orange peel, lanolin, chalky soil tones and incipient notes of both the beeswax and leather to come with further bottle age. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, vibrant and complex, with a great core of fruit, superb soil inflection, bright acids and a very long, ripe and focused finish. Not only is this a true wine, but it is a truly superb wine, with a far cleaner and more stable palate impression than the 2014 version. It is still on the youthful side and will be even better with further bottle age, but it is already a very impressive glass for current drinking."
