Time has been kind to this wine

the 2005 turns more delicate with time in the glass as its silkier and floral qualities become more evident

yet will need time to fully express itself

floral and Asian-style tea scents

the finish hangs in there with its dusty cherries

Raveneau, Chablis Blanchots other_regions Time has been kind to(from a . 65 ha parcel of very old vines of indeterminate age). Here too there is just a background hint of wood that does not intrude upon the wonderfully refined aromas that are airy, pure and lacy and exhibit largely the same components as the Monte de Tonnerre. The detailed and equally pure flavors are unusually forward with fine intensity and superb finishing length and minerality. I like the high level of extract and overall sense of balance. 93
