  Tasted blind, this wine was rather tight and funky at first. However, it came on strong with air to show excellent richness and acidity. It's precision seemed to eb and flow. However, my impression is that this wine is still not quite in the zone yet (if certainly still imbibable).
  
  I would opt to let this sit in the cellar for a few more years at which point it may improve by a point or so.

  Admittedly, I am not a big Raveneau fan and the 95 didn’t do a lot to win me favor. The citrusness of Raveneau is more off putting to me than delicious. Usually it is contrasted with texture and delicate sweetness to soften the sharpness. That wasn’t in balance for this wine. It was kind of flat for Clos and didn’t bring the texture or flavor dynamism to make me stand up.

  ChrIstmas WIMPS, Pandemonium table (La Trompette, London): Label decayed, and cork not marked with vineyard, so beyond vintage and producer this is a guess. GC weight. Nicely mineral without a full blown assault of salinity. Rounded with a touch of honey, transitioning to white mushroom. Mid length, no more. Decent. A slight sense of fading grandeur. ****

  From magnum. A little dusty, with modest energy that faded. 91-

  Not much upside left for this vintage, but great mature Clos.
