  Notes of dried shiitake mushroom, ginger and preserved lemon. Fading remnants of orchard and stone fruits that may not be with us anymore. Citrus layers of acidity are still there. Very savory, like some sort of cheese crackers or Jura's Sous Voile Chardonnay.
  
  Other tasters thought this was 'gone and beyond'. I still enjoyed its tertiary complexities and savory profile.
  
  Aged raveneau's show huge bottle variations. Some palates don't accept deeply tertiary characters. Your mileage may vary a lot.

  Kul nese. Tydelig utvikling. Moden ost, gule blomster, mineraler. Kanskje litt begrenset kompleksitet? Uansett veldig pent. I munn er frukten litt skinny, og syren ganske potent enda. Ikke en toppårgang (eller topp flaske?), men en kul vin og en interessant opplevelse.

  A total stunner on the pnp, which for Raveneau I consider unusual, as a typical prep is often a multi hour decant. This was so in the zone, with a nose that was just to die for. Palate is deep and tense and showing a seamless balance of crushed seashells, orchard fruit and a secondary honeyed character. A perfect showing.

  Intense, lemony, creamy texture, saline, medium weight. Cellared since original release.

  Served in a Zalto Universal. Leaf / 1016 hPa
  
  Color is a light goldenrod. Showing some signs of age, but still stunning for 20 years old. The nose is fresh with oyster shells, seaweed, and a hint of honey. Some chamomile as it warms. The honey shows a bit more prominently with air, and the wine fleshes out on the nose with pear, while still retaining an awesome salinity. Mushrooms and hazelnuts also appear with time. The palate follows suit and the evolution of the nose, but showing more of a walnut on the finish. My only gripe with this wine is that vintage leaves it wanting for acidity. A complete wine now. Drink up.
