A step down from a bottle four years ago (same parcel). In the good+ range, not excellent as expected. My initial read of the 2016 Ramonet GC's was more positive soon after release than it is now, which is more in line with consensus on the vintage. Decanted for 90 minutes then back in the bottle for an hour before pouring.

Boulevard 21: 2016 Ramonet Montrachet A showy wine reflecting the vintage. Beguiling aromas of wet stone mineral with sweet apple, buttered popcorn & delicate spice. A rich round creamy texture with serious depth while remaining quite delicate and nuanced. Very Impressive 96

Cru Crew Wine dinner hosted by Brad England (Mara restaurant at the Four Seasons hotel in Minneapolis, MN.): My least favorite of the flight, but still very good. Some mint, lactic and spice on the nose. Creamy palate. Less complex than the others.

Ramonet Montrachet: True to its vintage, the 2016 was very good if not exceptional, particularly relative to the many great vintages tasted tonight.

At the beginning, Pronounced aroma of pear, white flower, like drinking fresh juice.
After 3hrs in the glass, nose of little bit metal.
flavor changed to sesame, cookie, and popcorn.
Very clean and fresh! Super loooong finish!
Not that powerful.
