  • I won’t describe the flavor profile of this wine as others have done that before and it is almost beside the point. This is exactly what you would expect from the top white burgundy vineyard and near top producer. The only flaw I ever saw written about this wine was that the 08 might be even better - but that is now when 08 has the age advantage. Let’s see how they compare in 5-8 years and only if some exceedingly generous friend decides to pop open a bottle that will by then be priceless.

  • La Paulée de Los Angeles Gala Dinner (The Fairmont - Santa Monica CA): Small glass. Brilliant in every respect, with so much here to enjoy. A head turner.

  • 15/08 pairing. I had rated this 100 in the past, and it was darn close again, but the 08 was better tonight, so I guess we'll call this bottle near perfect. Waves of ridiculous amounts of rich fruit and still primary though accented with mineral, spice and honey. Pristine balance and precision. Amazing that a wine with this power and concentration can be so effortless. Based on the 08 along side, room for some extra upside.

  • Happy Birthday to Me (Oriole - Chicago IL): Alongside the 2008. Rich and dense with so much ripe orchard fruit, fresh herbs and spring flowers. Starts off lush and brilliant, this brightens up from the middle forward to its long, long exciting finish. The only bad thing I can say about this wine is that the 2008 was even better.

  • Wow did Ramonet do a great job in this vintage. Drank in a spectacular flight with the 10 Montrachet, and a 12 Coche CC, this was fireworks from the first whiff. Even Better bouquet than the 10, this was a reference standard for the minty floral nose of this domaine, just so enveloping. Chris called it deeper and more plush than the 10 which I’d agree with, though for me it didn’t have quite the mineral cut, which I think is vintage specific. But this in incredibly generous here and now, full on Ramonet experience
