This was broader and more giving than the '14 served beside it, the 3 extra years of age in bottle have served it well. Good as this is, consensus was drink up doubtful there's much upside. Should hold in this spot at least a year or two.

RN74 with the SF Eating Club (RN74): Note from the Somm, Verne: Dom. Ramonet has this "US version" which has more oak, and a different, less-oaked version for sale in Europe.
Clear, day-bright, pale straw in the glass, with low tears. The nose is an elegant, rippling tapestry of lemon buttercream, unripe peach, oyster shell, well-integrated oak aromas of hazelnut and a whiff of burnt toast. In the mouth, the texture of this wine is dead-sexy. L+ body, L+ alc. med/high clean acid, with intense flavors confirming the nose and a long, true finish. A really nice wine, and just over-the-top indulgent when paired with the rich, buttery-sweet foie torchon.

(at L’Ami Jean – Paris) Delicious and quite refreshing. There was good backbone to support the honey toned fruit. I think this may get even better with 3 or 4 years of aging. (90)

Pale gold. Pear, butter on nose. Apple and creaminess on palate with a mineral finish. Fresh tasting, good acidity. Still young and really nice!
