I’ve been lucky enough to taste some much older ramonet reds with a very generous friend and colleague. They age fantastically and are really beautiful. My oldest is 2010 Boudriotte. Hopefully, they will get older, but not promising anything. they’ll get older. The question is whether you will.

Young looking for a 14 year old wine that was 15! Bottles like this will last 20 more years. Powerful refined citrus fruit but not much Ramonet mint, as Jerry mentioned.
