January 26, 2024 - Deep colour, showing some age.
Lightly honeyed fragrance, soft.
Honey, ripe fruits, mineral spice, but in a rather muted style, not overly expressive. Structure is also a bit soft and gentle, without the usual presence. Nothing oxidative, just feels like this one is past its best. The warm vintage no doubt an influence here. -

January 13, 2021 - [Blind] Nose is initially rich, unctuous, and heavy with orange zest and saffron. Palate is also oily. Not oxidative at all but has that waxy and oily character of a blanc Rhone or Bordeaux. Gaining some floral high notes and more detail with air. Brightening up considerably. Lots of depth and power and showing good wood. Orange zest has turned to more lemon citrus. Two hours later this is more in the honey and lemon category. Still pretty great drinking. 92 - 93+ if a little fresher.

November 4, 2018 - Drinking quite well, pieces all in place -- acidity, salty rocks, citrus, and that Raveneau muskiness.

November 24, 2012 - Dusty and earthy aromas, but otherwise restrained.
Rocky tart dry lean citrus, finished with punch, yet dull middle. Not a typical Raveneau. 911 person found this helpful Comment
