Light gold. Bright in the glass. Initial nose like rich heavy CA Chardonnay which seems to be the vintage trait. But then with air it gains complexity and the nose narrows to river stone and honeysuckle. In the mouth its not Chablis like at first but then the acidity powers on with an hour of air. Great finish. Moving from primary to secondary notes at age 10. Good now. Can't wait to see where it goes in the future.

2005 and so youthful. Top five Raveneau I've ever had.

The 2005. A bit flat, impenetrable, not showing much. A little more development on the second night but not particularly exciting.
