Stunning from the moment popped. Tropical & citrus fruits, rich and buttery, intense yet elegant and precise. Multiple layers of complexity, and even at the 5 hour mark, it was like the gift that never stops giving. An absolute treat and most certainly one of the best whites of the past few years.

Domaine Romanee Conti Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): We have reached perfection my friends, this is an absolutely gobsmacking example of Burgundy bliss. Everything you could ask for from a mature bottle, huge and impressive intensity with pristine fruit and precise delineation. Didn't go downhill in the slightest over an hour in the glass, and with air some more nuances emerged like cinnamon and nutmeg.
The generous friend who provided this pristine bottle said it came from the Don Stott cellar. I can't imagine any bottle of this showing any better, except in Ramonet's cellar.

Pineapple cream, some savory spice, rich dark yellow fruit. Somewhat advanced, a little flat and advanced. Lacking real depth at this point and cut on the finish

Citrus, butter, dried tropical extract and almonds. Palate is rich with abundant acidity. Just missing that signature Ramonet popcorn nose.
