Fresh and crystalline with a salty, oyster shell nose. A little sweetness in the front, a fiber mousse with tall detail and transparency. Light on its feet alongside the Dom 02. Not as intense but very pretty. — 4 years ago

Maybe an underperforming bottle? Still dense but lacking a certain something. Tiny bubbles! Brioche nose and typical Dom. Transitions effortlessly to a full mid and crisp finish. — 8 years ago

My favorite 08 for current drinking when comparing to the Dom & Cristal that I had recently. Rich & intense with a creamy texture, citrus, pear, apple, mineral & pastry dough. — 4 years ago

Vinho Verde region of Portugal. Light body, but just enough acid to carry this wine. Smells like cucumber skin, faint candy in the nose. Muted soft grapefruit and lime, flowery (lime blossom?), cucumber. — 4 years ago

Four day weekend. Gotta get it off to a good start. Been awhile since we had our 375ml of Ruinart.

The nose shows, ripe, slightly candied; black cherries, strawberries, kirsch cherries, rich, summertime watermelon, touch of orange citrus family blend, pomegranate juice, hints of fruit roll up & haunting apricots. Sea fossils & spray, a little bread dough, grey volcanics, chalky powder, orange, spring flowers with fresh & withering, red & pink rose pedals.

The palate is full & touch gummy/candied. Fruits are well extracted, deep, ruby; black cherries, blackberries, strawberries, kirsch cherries, rich, summertime watermelon, touch of orange citrus family blend, pomegranate juice, hints of fruit roll up & haunting apricots. Ghostly, not quite fruit brandy or fruit liqueur character, sea fossils & spray, a little bread dough, not quite medium, white spice with hints of palate heat, grainy, grey volcanics, chalky powder, orange, spring flowers with fresh & withering, red & pink rose pedals. The acidity lively and crisp. The round, well balanced & polish finish is always consistently satisfying and lingers for minutes.

Photos of; the House of Ruinart, Dom Thierry Ruinart, nicely light caves and rolling, hillside, Grand Cru Vineyard.

Not quite sure where “D” gets $83 when you can buy this all day at just under $65. — 6 years ago

Bravos cinsault 2016
Light ruby color. Aromas of bing cherries, pink peppercorns, and bubblegum,
On the palate, light body, fruity with that same bubblegum characteristic. Bright acidity and med light tannin. Juicy and vibrant. Fun wine. 9.0 — 8 years ago

Tasty and affordable in the new Mencía style. Dark berry and vanilla on the nose, blackberry jam through and through on the palate. Finishes like satin. Great value to pair with red meat off the grill or hearty game. — 12 years ago
