  Another lovely bottle. It was just a little past peak maturity but still tasted great with its lemon, light toffee, white stone, and apple flavors.
  
  In the mouth, the acidity was light at first but firmed up and became gorgeously integrated with the fruit.
  
  This bottle was in perfect condition so drink up ASAP.

  Premier Cru Table (The Fifth Avenue Hotel): Ripe, fat, well-cut white fruit, slightly older than I expected and just missing some Ramonet electricity. 93

  From a perfect looking bottle, this wine had a yellow center and clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose put forth citrus, mint (I usually get lemon oil in Ramonet but this time I definitely perceived mint), white stone, and vanilla.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was powerful but with gorgeous balance and huge acidity. While very ripe and rich, it was still in balance. The length was very impressive.
  
  This wine was drinking and would have easily lasted 5 years in the cellar. However, I see no reason to wait.

  Tasted blind alongside what eventually turned out to be a Leflaive BBM from same vintage. Was initially very muted especially compared to the Leflaive’s aromatics which burst forth from the get go. However this beauty needed some air time and like the tortoise it eventually chased up and surpassed. Mint and menthol is what I primarily remember but just Wonderful.

  Tasted blind, this wine had a light gold center with clear rims. The medium+ intensity nose generated gram cracker, lemon zest, honey, mineral, and eventually, some mint notes.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was rip and rich with huge acidity and length. It got bigger and bigger in the glass despite being open a couple hours beforehand.
  
  This wine is certainly fully mature. I can see why some might say that it shows some oxidative notes but for me they were more in the hazelnut, gram cracker, honey camp. Thus, I found this wine incredibly flavorful and impressive. Drink ASAP after a couple hours in a decanter and expect a lot of drama!
