96 DE / 95 AG / 17.5 JR
Classic aged Dom Ruinart nose - toasty, not yeasty, in the house's reductive style. Brilliant, bright acidity, the servant rather than the master of the wine. Mineral-wrapped green fruits are precise and linear, finishing with endless complexities. Grand vin! Drinking Window 2017 - 2025. - Michael Edwards, Decanter
The 1996 Dom Ruinart is a wine of pure texture. Smoke, butter, spices, wild flowers and apricot pit are some of the many notes that give the 1996 its breadth and volume. The expansive, resonant finish is particularly of note.
