Dom Ruinart Rose 1990 (OCC/1)
Tasting Note
'I was very fortunate to be served both the 1996 and the 1990 Dom Riunart Brut Rosés at a dinner with friends in Burgundy right towards the end of my three week trip there in November, and I cannot tell you just how good it felt to settle in after grinding out a very arduous schedule of tasting young wines over the previous eighteen days and savor a couple of glasses of mature Rosé Champagne before tackling a beautiful lineup of older Burgundies! The 1990 Dom Riunart Brut Rosé is a beautiful example of the vintage that is at its apogee today, delivering a lovely bouquet of white cherries, rye bread, orange peel, a touch of woodsmoke and a lovely base of chalky soil tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very elegant, with a wide open personality, great cut and grip, superb focus, elegant mousse and excellent grip and complexity on the very long and well-balanced finish. Some 1990 bubblies have been a bit long in the tooth when I have tried them of late, but the 1990 Dom Riunart Brut Rosé is fresh as a daisy and at its zenith.'
