M&PD dinner at Bisato. Having this wine always feels like Christmas. It never disappoints. That being said, this was different than any Ramonty I've had previously. This bottle did not have as much spearmint or flint as Ramonty usually has. It was also quite green in color (in the glass) and had a bigger weight (in the mouth) than I've experience previously with this wine. This bottle was even heavier than a pinot, but not syrupy. Light smoke on palate and finish. The finish was perfect btw - holding all the flavors for some time.

M&PD Tasting: Bisato (Seattle, WA, USA): These are just such a special treat. Green in the glass, wow what a nose, spearmint, just explosive. The palate is mineral and salty. Indescribably good.

Ramonet Montrachet Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): Ripe fruit on the attack, intensely mineral and very long finish. A very serious wine, and a great showing. Not a surprise on the reveal.
Crazy and embarrassing as this is, this is the third time I have had this wine in a month. Each bottle has been consistently excellent, '06 was a strong vintage for Ramonet.

A few Bottles of Burgundy as an Hommage to Tony Terlato (Smyth and The Loyalist - Chicago IL): So sad that this was much more advanced than it should be. This wine was brilliant the last time tasted in 2015.
