Cellar/Tasting Notes
"I had very high expectations for the 2002 Brut Blanc de Blancs Dom Ruinart and was not disappointed. Actually, that is an understatement. The 2002 is a flat-out great Dom Ruinart... Layers of sweet, perfumed fruit emerge with no end in this subtle, sexy Dom Ruinart... The 2002 convinces for its..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"There is also enough oak influence to notice though not enough to materially detract from the high-toned and overtly spicy red currant, cherry and plum suffused nose. There is a lovely minerality to the supple, forward and refined middle weight plus flavors that possess a wonderfully refined mouth..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A healthy dollop of wood toast is in evidence along with distinctly cool and restrained aromas of wild red berries, wet stone, underbrush and exotic black tea nuances.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is actually a younger, more concentrated wine than the 1990. A dense plum/garnet color with a slight lightening at the edge is followed by a sensational Figeac nose of mint, fruitcake, Asian spices, gobs of sweet black and red fruits, and a smoky component in the background. Medium to..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2006 Hermitage Ex-Voto is slightly denser, revealing gorgeous aromas of black raspberries, black currants, graphite, herbs, and truffles. Elegant yet substantial in size, well-textured, and long, this superb wine should age effortlessly for 25-30 years."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
RP: "It offers a classic bouquet of incense, licorice, pain grille, black currants, truffles, and flowers. Medium-bodied and concentrated, it is another terrific effort from an estate that has done everything right over the last decade."
