a true treat to get to try this, thanks to SW and his generosity. potent nose of honey and quince ; the glass remained strongly smelling this way long after the contents were consumed. mouth- butterscotch, butter croissant, white peach, poached pear. delicious.

M&PD Tasting: France (Seattle, WA, USA) : Lots of guesses here, some thinking Raveneau. Round, mineral, not *quite* right, savory, quite deep, but with a little hint of caramel. Slightly disappointing once we knew what it was, but it was certainly delicious nonetheless.

M&PD tasting dinner at Vendemmia. Thanks to the generosity of Captain JVNK, we had four 2004 Ramonets blind. Well, we knew there was a 2004 Monty and a 2004 Benny because we bought them as a group; but JVNK feathered in two of his own bottles and what a wild ride it was . . . The line-up (in order): Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Ruchottes Montrachet Bâtard-Montrachet The notes (and surprises): Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Winner on the night. This wine was …

Ramonet Montrachet Lunch (Phoenix, AZ USA) : Exceptional balance, some tropical notes. Surprised on the reveal this was drinking much younger than I would have expected for '04. Well stored bottles like this could easily keep improving for a decade.

This is in a great spot where it's showing appropriate levels of development with lightly honeyed fruit but retains great freshness. Montrachet class and power.

Holiday Burgundy Lunch (Scottsdale, AZ) : Unreal purity, mesmerizing. Chiseled mineral with a looooooong finish of honey, fruit, and this ethereal quality Ramonet sometimes has -- like drinking liquid diamonds. This is one of the all time great white Burgundy wines, sadly my last bottle.

La Paulée de New York Gala Dinner (Pier Sixty - New York NY) : Small glass, brief note. Rich now, incredibly balanced now. So much substance and nuance unfolding in my limited 3/4 ounce pour.

Holiday Burgundy Lunch - Rousseau, Leroy, DRC, Ramonet, d'Auvenay (Scottsdale, Arizona USA) : A majestic wine in every respect. So polished, incredibly complex, mile long finish. This wine has many layers and demands total concentration. Greenish gold color suggests plenty of life left in this stunner. One of my all time favorite white Burgundy wines, a well stored bottle of this will haunt you...

Grands Echezeaux : Served blind and the aroma had everyone under its spell. Flowers and an ethereal “something” that beckons. Palate was less giving than the aroma and when it was revealed we learned why. This magnificent wine deserves to be followed for hours. Majestic and we are just scratching the surface.

Curnonsky dinner. Wine of the night. Smells remind of great Leflaive. Some vanilla, oak plus fruit. Cracking, viscous mouth filling. Stunner.

Holy Moly this is my jam, precise pretty looooooooooooooong -- this is like drinking a diamond 💎 '99 and '04 are same level of quality, but I prefer the lightness and clarity of '04 tonight.

Light and preposterously long finish. This monster finish lasts indefinitely, and is utterly weightless floating incredible. Classic and brilliant.

Burg als comment in Jan is spot on. It was served to me blind. I called it a 00 ramonet batard because of the ramonet oak and spearmint on the nose, the richness and intensity on the palate. Palate is ripe and intense with many layers. At this point, the gap between 04 ramonet batard and montrachet is small. Its very complex and the acidity floods your palate with more air. Needs lots of time to develop the montrachet layer.

The wine of the night. Gorgeous nose of white flowers, toast, smoke, white peach and citrus. It is layered and really builds in the mouth. Flavours stain the palate and it finishes with great cut. It has phenomenal detail and length.

A 40th Birthday Celebration, Dinner Edition (Atlas Bistro - Scottsdale AZ) : Magnum. Served single blind alongside the 2005. Wonderfully floral. Lots of apple and pear, with mint and savory spice. Very good length, great harmony, near perfect balance.

From magnum served blind. Considerably better than the '05 to my taste, this had deep structure, intense purity, lovely enticing nose, and in all respects came across as a regal Montrachet. Superb!

LaTâche Lunch with a Ramonet Starter (Binkley's - Phoenix AZ) : Served single blind in Ramonet 2004 flight. Ripe and intense from the start, showing lots of ripeness and concentration. Powerful, while also elegantly balanced. Richness mistakenly made me think a great bottle of Batard.

Some sulphur on the nose, looooooooong finish. Very powerful. Served blind, but I still guessed this correctly it's just too massive to be anything else. A superstar wine.

Leroy Dinner at Binkley's (Phoenix, AZ) : Mile long finish, dreamily floating across the palate with such precision and grace. This is "it" - the holy grail of white Burgundy - even over the stellar Leroy wines. Highest recommendation.

A spectacular bottle of wine. The nose is fine but complex with aromas of spearmint, butter, white peach, aniseed and custard. In the mouth it is texture with outstanding purity of fruit and just a hint of honey development rounding off the fruit. There are some cooler floral and mineral things that come to the fore with air. It builds through the palate and has great cut. The finish drives on and on.

2nd Most Epic Burgundy Dinner (Boulevard - San Francisco CA) : Served blind in what turned out to be Coche CC and Ramonet Montrachet flight. All open several hours before serving. Ripe fruit with some mint and nutty hints. Subtle and nuanced, but slightly less exceptional vs another bottle from a few months ago.
