Dom Ruinart Brut Champagne Blend

Best of the best from one of great houses for blanc de blanc - still fresh and lively at 16 years - citrus and subtle minerality

Bottiglia nn perfetta... purtroppo...

This is baller perfect to celebrate the cubbies and the series

Favorite vintage BdB for the price, has the classic '98 richness to it, with layers of complexity. Love it.

This is drinking amazing right now still fresh but showing maturity as well. Very layered and stays on the palette

Beautiful example of a house that is just getting better and better every year

In the immortal words of Keanu Reeves, "Whoa!"

In a wine lovers journey there are a handful of bottles which evoke reflection from the sheer taste… Maybe its history and taste captured in a bottle perfected by time; maybe it is just the moment. Nonetheless this is one of those bottles for me.

The color is on par with a nice gold tone and only the last surviving bubbles rising. The nose is opulent with citrus, apple, apricot, almond and toast. The mouthfeel with crisp red apple, orange peel, brioche, almond, and a truffle-like finish which endures. This is vibrant, lush, rich and beautifully aged Champagne.
…
Now, for that reflection part, back in ’98 when the grapes that make up this bottle were ripening I was a young lad from a small town about to graduate high school with too many decisions, plans, and expectations. Albeit, I had never tasted Champagne. Now, where were you back in 1998?

Excellent champagne, maybe the best I have ever had. Bubbly, dry and sweet, perfect body.
