Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 18, 2023 - Had this alongside the 2008 of the same wine. The 2008 was the better wine on this night by a wee bit. The 2008 bottle we had was fresher, brighter, more clear and had a bit more mineral bite. The 2007 opened with some pleasant lactic/cheese notes, and had a slightly fatter (for Raveneau) presentation. It was showing more maturity and some honeyed notes - but to be clear, not even a hint of prem-ox. Just showing its proper age (it is 16 after all), while the 2008 bottle we enjoyed remained more youthful. My last bottle of this 2007 was opened over 5 years ago, and I can say that the wine has shown some development over that period - which some white Burg fans would enjoy a lot. At a Paulee event, these really stood out positively among the whites...quite a few of which were either too young, or prem-oxed.
