Aged Raveneau- Blind: Blanchot Vertical, 1990 Horizontal (Tom's House, Palo Alto): Very nice early on with aromas of sweet cigars, some oxidation; palate had some smoke, full bodied, good fruit; short and bitter finish. This wine also fell apart a bit with air and got progressively worse. Still excellent, but my #7 and group's #7. 90

(François Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Blanchot) Group's #7 (my #1) – 101 pts.; 2, 1, 0, 4 - medium dark golden yellow color; almond, brioche, apple butter, apple cider, honey, vanilla icing nose; delicious, rich but elegant and a touch oxidized, creamy textured, ripe lemon, mineral, apple palate; long finish 95+ points (but for the oxidation, I would have scored this around 98 points)
