  Right in the zone. Drank early in a long night of great wines, so I don’t have specific notes but it delivered on every sip, getting more expansive. In a stellar lineup one of our group called it his 2nd favorite WOTN, and another said this is in its peak window. I agree and and would be pulling corks before you miss out on the greatness

  A 2005 Ramonet that isn't premox'd. Winner winner already.
  Nose had lovely fruit notes of apple, peach, and some honeycomb. Palate showed quite a bit of oak initially, mellowing out with air. I also got some honey and nuttiness on the back end of the palate. Acidity is present but doesn't dominate. With air though, the wine just flourishes and expresses beautiful fruit for days. Priviledged to have tried this.

  A small gathering with COVID safety measures at Bryan's (Undisclosed location in McLean, VA): Expressive extremely youthful nose displaying incredibly concentrated yellow and white fruit, white peach, a hint of pineapple, fresh lemon juice, beeswax, spicy spices, white flowers and crushed rock. Unbelievable concentration, layers upon layers of perfectly ripe sweet yellow fruit, rich and dense, an incredible amount of extract, medium acidity, strong limestone mineral and a long concentrated slightly coiled yellow fruit driven finish with beeswax and limestone at the end. There is a hint of alcohol at the end. This clearly expresses the 05 ripeness. This is a powerful concentrated wine, a bit closer to Batard than Chavalier.

  From 75cl. Ramonet’s 2005s have taken their time to get going with even the Ruchottes still in need of more time. Hence i was expecting this to be on the backward side. I wasn’t disappointed. Decanted and then served 2-24 hours later.
  
  On opening, a light green/ gold colour. The nose was pretty mute and the palate every tight but immense.
  
  After two hours, citrus, white flowers, mint and chiffon cake on the nose. The palate opened up nicely but still maintained a tight core of stone and minerals. A huge mouthful.
  
  A day later, this is singing. The acidity, minerality and litheness associated with younger Ramonets has receded to reveal a beautifully spherical core of yellow and white fruits, jasmine and honeysuckle. An extraordinary bottle and one for the ages.

  PR 1969 Extravaganza: Lemon, smoke, orange, laundry powder and oyster shells. Sweet fruit with lots of density but equal control - lots of acid keeping it in check. Clearly excellent but not a showstopper tonight.
