1998 Dom Ruinart

The color of this champagne is medium intensity lemon green. It has quite pronounced aromas and flavours intensity. Ripe apple, yeasty, bready, toast, biscuit and lemon. Creamy mousse with small bubbles and long persistence. Dry with medium alcohol. Fuller than medium body with quite high zesty acidity. Medium length with biscuity finish (90). Well developed champagne with good complexity and intensity but the length is a bit short.

如果個餘韻長d的話, 這枝香檳便是一枝有頂級質素的香檳. 味度頗複雜, 酸得來清爽唔削, 好飲.

Ruinart NV Rose Champagne

This rose champagne is dry and has medium to high acidity. The bubbles are fine and small. On nose it gives apple and grassy aroma with a bit of yeasty note. It has medium body with flavours of apple and cherry. The aftertaste is not long but it is still a good wine to start a dinner. (88)
