Tasted blind. Medium gold color, darker than the 93 Raveneau next to it. Has a sweet, vanilla/eggnog kind of thing going. Also notes of citrus and some spice. Very rich with subtle acidity. Refined. Guessed 86 Ramonet grand cru.

A vibrant and taut nose with med + intensity and great complexity. Less weight and concentration on the palate then first anticipated but noticeable elevated quality. Strong acid and very lively with med + complexity and great length. Super Corny. #cortoncharlemagne #josephdrouhin #grandcru #burgundy #cotedebeaune

Golden color. Lively flavors and aromas. Intense minerality, honeysuckle, spice. Nice acidity. Great youth for a 17 yr old wine.

Showing its age with a little hazelnut, but with the acidity to support it.

Quite the oak, but very well innagraded. Quite dry. The structure is there. But who? Young. Good not overwhelming.
