Ramonet Montrachet: A very nice bottle, but it was flighted in tough company (2008, 2010). So I'll damn it with faint praise - very good but not great.

Ramonet Montrachet Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): Massive aromas, dark-ish color, exciting and thrilling on the aromas alone. Rich mouthfeel with more viscosity than the two other Ramonet Montrachet wines in the flight. Some oak spice on the finish. All in all, a lovely wine.
Not one person guessed this vintage correctly, most including myself were thinking 09. Blind tasting is humbling indeed...

Broad, powerful, round, and ripe accompanied by dried tropical extract, pineapple, vanilla and signature spearmint. Underwhelming for a Ramonet Montrachet but overall a good wine without looking at the price tag. I am not sure if this is better than a 2010 Ramonet Batard Montrachet.

drank in a trilogy with 10 and 12, this was absolutely fantastic though slightly behind the other two. I love 11 whites as a vintage, they are so chisled and that leanness appeals to me, though the other two wines were providing another dimension

Acker Merrall Bicentennial Gala (Cipriani Wall Street - New York NY): Small glass from magnum, brief note. Apple and lemon curd with enticing floral charm throughout with bright textures supporting this to a long, exciting, expanding finish. It is a crazy night when this is the 4th best Montrachet I tasted.

Slow oxed for 5.5 hours. Nose has the signature spearmint, straw, lemon zest, oak. Palate opens up beautifull with very nice intensity with very refined stuffing. The finish is very elegant. This is more accessible than my expectation. Drinking well already.

Domaine Ramonet’s 2011 Montrachet Grand Cru was oh so Ramonet. We all took a sniff and collectively blurted out ‘Ramonet’. It had the pronounced spearmint and so much elegance. There were notes of Arum lilies, minerals and orchard fruits. It was powerful with restraint.

Starts off a little tight with a rigid mineral spine. There's some restrained exoticism along with notes of fennel and spearmint cream It really builds in the mouth and is dense, sappy and powerful. It has good cut and floral detail through the finish.

Cru Crew Wine dinner hosted by Brad England (Mara restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel in Minneapolis, MN.): Served alongside the '08, '10 and '12. Yellow color. Spice, tropical fruit a and pineapple notes on the nose. Lush palate. Lacks the freshness of the '08 and '10 imo. Improved with time in the glass.
