From Magnum, thanks to Rob Caine. Compact notes of ripe citrus and apples paired with Ramonet resin. Very dry, so minerality imparts a bitter note. This is a very young wine that could age for years. It was great to see a sound 2000 Ramonet after so many premoxed siblings. This bottle could have reached 95+ if it had been allowed to age. Or, are these 2000 whites going to stay right here with interrupted development?

Had two bottles with friends to celebrate the U.S. election. Sadly, one was mildly affected - probably premox. The other had a muted nose, but had a nice (but not exceptional) mix of orchard fruit, mineral and floral on the palate. Its finish was clean. Missing was that classic spearmint, earth and wood aroma and taste you so often find in this wine. I would have loved to have tasted it blindly against a mix of other Cd Beaune whites - my hunch is that I would have put it in the middle of the pack.

200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Rich, very advanced, too nutty for me, end of life and borderline top in terms of ripeness. The Ramonet wines unfortunately did not do so well in this tasting.
