The nose had typical Ramonet spearmint, with lemon, apple, and some chalk. On the palate, there was good acidity. Mid palate was a little lacking and finish seemed clipped.
After an hour, the wine started evolving and probably not in a good way. The fruit notes turned into hints of cotton candy and burnt sugar, suggesting perhaps the fruit was very ripe when picked. Acid seemed to fade into the background.
Probably time to drink these up.

Young and powerful but this opened nicely with a bit of air. Lots of stuffing and acidity to age gracefully but it’s pretty darn approachable and tasty in its youth.

Ripe fruit: Pear and citus, some matchstick, high density with good length. I like this cuvée, less rich compared to les Caillerets.

Another poor showing from a well stored bottle. Caveat Emptor.

Open, good fruit. Probably lacks a bit in complexity.

2023 La Paulee Offline with the NYC Crew (The Bar Room at the Modern): I was excited to try this wine as we've had other 14 Ramonets that have been just phenomenal. This wine started out strong, but sort of fell apart toward the end of the night.
