1985 rose vintage Dom Ruinart. Deep salmon, orange hue. Ripe apricot and butterscotch. 10g dosage. On palate, rich and porcini and truffle. Meaty and leather. Acidity is integrated. Soy sauce and apricot. Good length. Prefer the '88. But great wine. — 11 years ago

Wow. Delicious. Much richer and new world in style than the 88 which was tasted in conjunction. — 12 years ago

Beautiful! Quite different than the '88 and '89. Not as heavy and unctuous. Very light, great acidity with the perfect amount of sweetness. Had en magnum. — 13 years ago
