Not oxidised and in remarkable nick for a village wine. Was not expecting this to be in such great condition. It was a delight to drink and if this is a $30 bottle of wine then its even more amazing. Just a lovely velvety soft aged white burgundy. Just the right amount of fruit but oh so mellow. A treat and a bargain!!!

lean and quite acidic, somewhat uninteresting upon opening, flavor, palate and nose development after 2 hours was essential to the development of a lean, bright palate, full of tannins and angular acidity, revelaing a nose of spice cake, dried apricots and tea leaf. No signs of premox Next bottle will try the day after......

Buttery tones on nose with nuts. Seems to be slightly oxidized, but is still alive in mouthfeel. Rich, fat feel with more butter and a mineral tone underneath. Reasonably fresh with some tones of herbs and flowers. A bit heavyset and not quite what to expect from this producer. But, again, this isn't a perfect sample and I've tried a bottle earlier which was well down the road to oxyville...

Bright yellow, green tinge in color. Pretty nose of apple/pear, honeycomb, Capt'n Crunch cereal, green tea w/mint, oak spice. Nice round feel in the mouth, yet spiked up well with a good dose of citrus acidity and spice. Very tasty fruit(green apple/pear/lime), spicy and well structured with minerals and acidity.....complexities of Vietnamese spring rolls, celery stick, crushed limestone, little vanilla oak barrel. Has kind of a harsh acid side to it, which I actually like, as well as some marshmallow vanilla oak which is lifted well by the acidity. I really like this wine...very typical for the Vintage, which is a style I adore. Should age well for awhile.

Characteristic Ramonet nose of lemon curd and wintergreen - lots of class. Light on its feet with a vibrant, youthful profile and only traces of the fatness to come on the finish. Bright acidity. Very nice wine for the level.

A fine wine, but the oak is a bit dominating on the nose. Fruit fruit and acidity underneath.

Very good, nose of mint (and a hint of pine needle) and citrus. The oak is becoming integrated but the wine is still on its young side.

Too young? The acidity and sitrus flavours are great, but the oak is still there. Try another in 6 months.

mineral, mint and a bit of citrus. Lean, maybe more than I expected for a 2004.

Doesn't benefit from being served directly after an Aubert. Characteristic Ramonet mint notes. Lighter in flavor, though with ample structure.

Very light color. All mineral on the nose with just hints of citrus. Elegant wine. Very young, but good refreshment on a hot day.

Tasting at Ramonet (2004, 2003 and others) (Ramonet cellars): Very very acidic, directed and focused, oaky. Average.
