  No flaws or undue oxidization but I found this to be about peak maturity while still retaining some freshness. Advancing apple fruit, loads of spice, short on mineral and acid. Dense and weighty. Opulent, rich, not necessarily powerful. If being extremely critical this could’ve used a touch more tension and energy. Very good but I think this should have a little more verve. I haven’t had great luck with 1999 Ramonet. Again, no flaws here, just a little tired and not seeing that Montrachet intensity and power.

  From magnum. As close to perfection as any white Burgundy can be. The power was breathtaking, yet it maintained its light, dreamy feel in the mouth. A huge amount of dry extract and a finish that goes on and on and on. I have been privileged to have this wine before, but this was the best example I have ever tasted, the magnum format serving it well. Textbook example of power without weight. I don’t score on points but everyone at the table who did said 99 or 100.

  Massive, full, did I say massive? Not as precise as 04 but we are splitting the finest of hairs, serious juice.
