In a word, stunning!

Still rich, yet elegant, with forward flavors of pear, pineapple, lime and hazelnut, with light toast and honey showing late.

The perfect clean and crisp finish left you wanting more. Cool

Very well done!

Nice note. Curious....depending on your experience with Ramonet....what do you like more? Their Batard or Bien Batard?


So much wine.....so little time!!!

Every wine I've ever had from Ramonet has been outstanding.


Just one more sip.

20-25 years ago, they were not too difficult to find and surprisingly cheap by today's standards. I also had a couple labelled Ramonet-Prudon (sp?) that were great.


Just one more sip.

Old White Burgundy can be very interesting indeed. Thanks for the TN. The '05 version of this is about $200-250. To replace the '78 for under $1K I think would be very difficult.
