La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty, Chelsea Piers - New York NY): In a great Ramonet Chevalier-Montrachet vertical. Hard to believe that this is the first time I have tasted this wine! Floral and spiced nose with lemon, lemon peel that is matched by its palate that adds in plenty of apple and poached pear. Great weight and length. Almost as great as the 2004.

wow. initially closed but as it opened up it unfurled! stunningly powerful enormous fruit flavors that persists thru the finish. had next to ruchottes which by itself is amazing but this was another level. the concentration of flavors and coating mouthfeel was out of this world.

M&PD Zoom night. Blind tasting of the following wines:
2013 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières 2011 Coche-Dury Meursault Domaine et Selection 2007 Domaine Ramonet Chevalier-Montrachet 1995 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 1989 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin 1989 Château Rayas Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve
M&PD Zoom Tasting: White Burgundy & Red CDP (Zoom): A little butterscotch. Smoke. Menthol/mint. Seaweed. Broad shouldered palate, tons of structure. Simply remarkable, salty, savory, and mouthwatering. This is a lovely wine.

A couple of additional thoughts from my POV:
This was slightly understated compared to the best Ramonets. It was still excellent with that unique Ramonet signature of spearmint and fruit.
Here are my real time notes:
caramel
spearmint - only one place to find it
lemon
smoke
a bit lighter than montrachet
twists and turns - so complex
