1988 Domaine Ramonet Montrachet Grand Cru, Cote de Beaune, France 750ml

Medium gold. A wonderfully complex and still quite fresh though no longer primary with minty aromas of white flower and citrus zest that are nuanced by spice hints that continue onto the focused, detailed and powerful medium full flavors that are supported by a firm, but not aggressive, acid spine and a long, linear and indeed almost racy finish. Like many '88 whites, this may very well live for another 50 years. Note that while this will never be a seductive wine, food though materially improves its disposition.
