2005 Domaine Ramonet Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru

Very pale yellow. Sexy aromas of crushed stone, ginger and iodine. Densely packed and spicy, with terrific energy and grip. This started out almost painful but gained in breadth and pliancy with air, with a spicy note emerging. In fact, this became downright accessible in my glass.
