  2001 Raveneau Clos - opened at 11am and finished at 10pm. Last sip best sip.
  
  Started out shy and waxy, the material was brewing but never really came out for us to enjoy. Since we were meeting up a few hours later we corked the half bottle that was left and took it with us.
  
  We popped it again at the end of dinner and it was GLORIOUS. Full on aromatics of mint, ripe peach, lychee and flowers with a flinty mild reduction. The palate was dense and waxy with generous orchard fruit and cooling acidity. An absolutely stunner of a wine.
  
  Decant your white burgs kids. If anyone tells you no, tell em zaddy clayfu told ya.

  From Paris with Love, 2021 Edition; 11/19/2021-11/21/2021 (Paris (La Tour D'Argent et al)): What away to kickstart our 2021 event at La Tour D'Argent, Paris.
  The wine is now evolved away from the tell tell signs of lime and flint of young Chablis and is a softer and more polished on the acids. Alive ? Very much so, with impressive presence on the mid palate and persistence. A touch of a tropical side too maybe an oak leftover from its elevate. Lots of depth here too and frankly an experience to cherish . The grand master has done his miracle here. 96-97

  It's not huge from weight perspective, but focused and charming. Classic ultra clean lemon curd aromatics and linear, satiny palate.
