  Initially, presented well with a nice mid-palate and a clipped, almost non-existent finish. Over the course of a four hour dinner it improved materially and really developed positively. Not a profound wine but very enjoyable.

  Very pretty preserved lemon fruit flavors with a tactile sandy texture. The bottle age has put the focus on the ripe, fleshy side of the fruit as opposed to the screaming citric acid of young Chablis. Yet it still tastes young, objectively speaking, it's just that young Raveneau is never this expressive or open-knit.

  Popcorn, oak shavings, burnt lemon rind. Burnt orange. Waxy, oily texture, mellow acidity, drinking very well, at or near peak. Left wondering if it would've been better a few years ago.

  Perfect level and cork.
  Deep lemon yellow colour.
  Ripe tropical fruit nose, lemon curd.
  Broad open flavours, lemon curd, honeysuckle, lightly chalky. Not overly spicy or mineral. Good acidity to close, crisp finish.
