Medium yellow/light-gold color. Aromas have some floral/sweet lemon-lime and a hint of butterscotch. Palate still surprisingly fresh and showing good weight and density for the cru/vintage. Good example of Raveneau's ability to transcend vintage and maintain high quality and longevity. Drink.

PNP. Drank during a 3 hour dinner at Asa. The wine got better with air. Honeyed lemon, sea brine and spice on the nose. The palate is medium texture with a saline like viscousity, rich, concentrated fruit coupled with beguiling complexity and a core of acid that pops up on the finish.

Pnp. Gold yellow colour. Matured raveneau performed very well. Typical petrol, mineral, tropical fruits on nose. The petrol aroma is very strong, the nose improved after 2 hours. The palate was excellent from the beginning to the end. 94 palate 93+ nose

Perfect level and cork. Lemon coloured, lustrous. Citrus zest and waxy fragrance. Bright citrus, lemon and limes, quite tart, plenty of acidity. Vigorous and youthful. Not much development, little curd or cottage cheese, more linear fruit and mineral spice. This will keep a lot longer.

Tasted blind. White flowers, melon, very silky but oaky finish. Was somewhat unbalanced in terms of concentration vs. oak, and lean.
