    Very orange color. Quite acidic and dominating initially. It took a while for it to come around. Last glass was the best. So don’t sweat it if you still have them. The 1996 have this searing acidity which is less of a problem if you have enough to balance it. But in this wine it is too dominating. And you need to appreciate Tertiary notes to enjoy this Champagne. I definitely enjoyed it but it isn’t my preferred style. Too much apricot with high acidity.

    (Disgorged in October 2006, 83% Chardonnay with 17% Pinot Noir still red wine added, dosage 8 gr/L)
    Almost amber colour with a deep red hue added to it, the streams of bubbles are still left and slowly rising in the glass to release the delicious nose showing dark chocolate, minerals together with a lovely cherry blossom as it opens up in the glass.
    Minerals and apples acidity at first on the very pleasant and intense palate, before a very pleasant cherry stone bitterness takes over on the mid to late. Wonderfully transforms showing more maturity on the lengthy finish showing some dark chocolate, strawberry jam and a pleasant lime zesty note as well. This has evolved in a graceful and elegant way and this stage should should keep for many years to come.. Excellent!

    Bastille Day Celebration with Lots of Champagne Rosé (Park Ridge Country Club): Lots of orchard fruit with an abundance of energy. Faint red cherry hints come through on long, finessed finish.

    What a bottle! In my opinion on the top right now if you like tertiary notes. Dominated by so much dried apricot supplemented with nutty and caramel notes. Delicate mousse. Amber colour. Drink now - don't leave it in the cellar. If you don't like heavy tertiary notes it is too late. I have not experienced such dominating characteristic tertiary dried apricot flavours before - it is a matter of taste but we loved it without doubt! (Gilleleje)

    (Ruinart Champagne Dom Ruinart Brut Rosé) Intriguing, spicy strawberry nose; good tart strawberry, lime and mineral palate, a little tight yet; medium-plus finish

    (Ruinart Champagne Dom Ruinart Brut Rosé Grand Cru) Pale yellow with copper and salmon highlights. A Chardonnay-dominated wine with inviting aromas of peach, apricot, raspberry, fraise des bois, wild cherry, and lilac. Delicate on the palate, with vibrant red fruits and a fine, persistent mousse. The finish is long. This is a subtle, understated wine of great complexity that pairs beautifully with subtle, complex dishes. The Shifting Landscape of Champagne
