Sensational wine, fresh and vibrant, very complex layers of yellow fruits, citrus, oyster shell notes, mushrooms, ending in a powerful finish. I loved it, amazing at this age.

Premier Cru Table (The Fifth Avenue Hotel): Slightly advanced, more evident on the palate. Nose shows aged character with some dirt; seems consistent in this vintage chez Raveneau. 92

Three 96 Rav Grand Crus mano a mano. All of these bottles looked solid with yellow centers and clear rims.
The Blanchot clearly had the most expressive nose which is not uncommon. It became high- intensity with green apple, honeysuckle, citrus, and white stone notes.
As usual, it is not as powerful in the mouth as the other two but was still lovely nonetheless. It had crisp acidity, great balance, and excellent length.
While this is starting to drink now, it will be better in 5-10 years.

This bottle was the best of the bunch. It had the shed the the fat I've mentioned before and showed more depth and character. The oyster shell and minerality not as in your face but had a long finish. Really enjoyed this and kept getting better. 95 WOTN out of line of 01 Ausone and 08 Dujac CDLR
