    Lovely! Which was a bit of a surprise as a recent bottle was rather mediocre, not this one. Bottle-variation or simply more time post disgorgement? As both were consumed at restaurants I don't know. This here has a clear pale colour and tiniest bubbles. On the precise nose are sweet lemon confit, flowers and some sweet pastry. In the mouth the wine is perfectly balanced: Medium-bodied, but with a concentrated core of sweet fruit, lively and fresh, but also beautifully textured due to the very fine perlage. In comparison the mediocre bottle before showed both lighter flavours and a harsher mouthfeel. On the finish the sweetness is nicely controlled by quite a lot of chalky freshness. All in all this Ruinart BdB reminds me of a recent Perrier-Jouet BdB, however, everything dialed up a little bit without sacrifycing elegance and freshness. Wow!

    4th Saturday Brown Bagger (R&D's): Lot LAM9M. Light color with a medium mousse and fine bead. Red apple, almond and chalk qualities with subtle toasty undertones. Excellent.

    Saturday late night drinks at home. ~10 year bottle age. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
    Appearance is clear, pale intensity, lemon colour. Thin legs. Fine bubbles fading after a while.
    Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of white flowers, wet stones minerals, fresh water lake. Developed.
    On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium- alcohol (12.5%), sleek medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of light honey drizzle, clean light citrus fruit, white flowers, clean cool fresh water, pebbly stones minerality. Medium+ finish.
    Very good quality. Nicely bottle aged BdB. Captured at just the right moment in time, showcasing its crystalline qualities.
