90's Dujac Grand Cru and 2007 Ramonet: Youngest looking in a blind flight of 4 top 2007 Ramonet wines, with a green tint. Chalky mineral finish. This and what turned out to be Batard were the group favorites. Excellent indeed, but from this blind tasting Batard is the smarter buy for current drinking, and the Montrachet will probably be the better wine in another 5-10 years.

reticent at first and a demur nose. Lemon is the most present. we decide to let it sit and aerate. waited another 3 hours plus to return to it. I dare say close to perfect. both nose and palate showing more depth and delineation. Lemon recedes and mint, orchard fruit and some salinity dominate. juicy, tasty and complex.

Ramonet Montrachet Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA): Rich and tropical, served blind and quite a few of us weren't even sure this was on theme. It came across as broad and less precise than the other wines today, a shocking reveal.

had this next to the 2010, this was fresher and more youthful (which raises some concerns about the 10), though i slightly preferred the 10. This is razor focused with acidity, impressively so, but lacking that extra level of charm/power that i'd want from Montrachet (94/95)
