Montrachet--Vintage 1996
Côte de Beaune, Ramonet
The '96 Ramonet Montrachet is a monumentally scaled yet uncannily elegant and pure wine with a massive nose of limestone, citrus and white flowers of almost indescribable complexity followed by dense, very tight, beautifully nuanced flavors all wrapped in endless reserves of mid-palate sap. The backend display simply astonishing persistence that stains the palate. Yet for all this expressiveness, it's immediately clear that only a very small portion of the wine's potential is being revealed. The acidity of the '96 vintage is pronounced yet there is more than enough shve to balance it. A genuinely great wine of power, finesse, detail and riveting class. This rivals the DRC Montrachet and the Niellon Chevalier for wine of the vintage honors. Tasted: Jul 22, 1999 Score: 98 Drink: From 2010 To begin a new search, simply fill in at least one of the search criteria above. BH
