From my Whistler Weekend thread
2002 Ruinart Blanc de Blancs
This bottle reaffirmed why I keep coming back to the 2002 Ruinart. It’s nearly perfect. Floral notes, apple, croissant on the nose. Layers of orchard fruit and citrus on the palate, with that signature Ruinart grace. Hazelnut, a hint of warm pastry, and slight oxidative richness to remind you it’s lived a little, but still has a ways to go.
