Candie Does Cassoulet (Candie's, Mpls): Light gold color. Drank a glass plus over 45 minutes. First bottle, and that notable Dom Ruinart elegance and pitch is clearly on display this vintage. Ultra refined with a featherweight feel, crystalline minerality, pear glace, nectarine, toast, almond tart, tangerine, long and crisp. This is a gorgeous Dom Ruinart, ready to go and going to get better. 95+ to 96pts.

JNEWMAN77 summed up this bottle perfectly for us, creamy lemon, with some apple & pear that was difficult to stop sipping, depite the great reds to follow at the start of a great meal at Chops in Naples with Mark & Carol. One of the finest young champagnes that I have had & ready to drink. (will it, could it, still improve???)
