(Ruinart Champagne Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs) Bright grapefruit nose; grapefruit and yeasty palate with high acidity, tight, and not fully integrated at this point, with pink grapefruit showing toward the long finish 91+ pts.

Holiday Champagne Gala (Wilmette Harbor Club): Walkaround gala tasting. Rich, tasty and powerful but starting to lose steam. Surprising because I purchased this on release and have stored it well since.

1996 Dinner...Top Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux (Park Ridge Country Club): Tired bottle, this is inconsistent with other recent bottles.

Rich apple and some caramel notes, this is slowly losing its youthful freshness, while starting that maturation process towards its next level of increased complexity. Still nicely bright, this is at a very good place now.

Served alongside the 88. I've always enjoyed the 96 Ruinart, but place it in the good not great category. It benefited from it's pairing, as the 88 and 96 were an enjoyable complement to each other.
