Raveneau, Chablis Vintage:2018 concentrated yet impressively refined wine

concentrated yet impressively refined wine with plenty of inner mouth perfume as well as an abundance of palate coating old vine sap that serves to cushion the still quite firm tannic spine on the strikingly persistent finish

The fruit bestows purity

dry and refined finish that is sufficiently firm to reward at least a decade of cellaring

The 1986 Cos d’Estournel replicates the performance from my 30-year on tasting that I conducted a few months back

sumptuous personality

Raveneau, Chablis Vintage:2018 concentrated yet impressively refined wine(from vines near Montmains). Here too there is good freshness to the slightly riper aromas of grapefruit, quinine and sea breeze. The overtly rich and lush medium bodied flavors possess an opulent mouthfeel along with a lovely texture while offering markedly better complexity on the balanced and lingering finish. This is really quite pretty and a wine that should amply reward mid term cellaring.
