Dinner in St. Louis (Niche): A sweet and salty wine. The aromatics were pure and crystalline and felt familiar for Raveneau. Its palate was incredibly sweet but still nicely balanced. Had some nice richness to it with solid balance, too. Loved the feeling it gave me.

definitely needed air, but with time this was gorgeous. tons of marine character with an incredibly sweet lemon throughout the palate. such an exotic wine that was characteristic raveneau. minerality was off the charts too. what a delight!

HDH Bordeaux Auction; 10/31/2014-11/1/2014 (Chicago, IL): Quite some bottle funk on the nose -- some caramel and other weirdness going on, but I managed to swirl all of that crap away in my small pour. Beneath it all is the Raveneau signature -- restrained citrus and saline. Actually this is uber salty. Delicious. I'm a fan.

Saline, pure, mineral. like drinking seawater. A slight lactic note, which I slightly wished wasn't there. Beautiful wine.
