  Raveneau MdT and Chapelot (Chicago, IL): Another Raveneau in that slightly waxier style, but the vintage gives this an extra kick of freshness. Plenty of salinity and minerality here, and very much in line with the 2020 in style, though perhaps there's more palate weight (though not more complexity). Served next to the Chapelot, this was clearly the underdog(!). It just lacked the old-vine extracted quality, but on its own, this would already be brilliant.

  Drank alongside the 2014 Butteaux. Popped a few hours before to clear the wax and slow ox. This great from the get go. Loads of saline, oyster shell, mineral, and crisp, fresh, fruit. MdT was more linear and precise than the Butteaux but they were both incredible.

  Complex aromatics of smoky mineral, mint, preserved lemon and oyster shell. Rich, intense and layered. Great mouthfeel and power, but light on its feet. The finish is dry and precise and very long.

  Disembarking and Liberating Paris once again from Fear & Hypocrisy; 1/4/2024-1/6/2024 (Paris - France): Steely, sharp as a blade. Dry and direct. Shy on the nose smelling like unripened citrus without in a mineral breeze. Individualized customization of this vintage that can age eternally.
  
  Acerado, cortante como una cuchilla. Seco y directo. Tímido en nariz oliendo a cítricos sin madurar en una brisa mineral. Personalización individualizada de esta añada que puede envejecer eternamente.

  Beautiful wine. Sea shells, chalk and hints of mountain flowers and honey suckle. Focused and long on the palate. Great wine. On
  Could use a little more acidity
