The 2004 Dom Ruinart is just as brilliant and viscerally thrilling as it has always been.Tightly coiled and exceptionally beautiful, the 2004 boasts fabulous intensity, class and pedigree. The flavors are vibrant, chiseled and crystalline in their precision. Time in bottle is doing wonders for the 2004. This is a tremendous showing. Disgorged June 2013. Drink: 2015-2034.

Toasty bread qualifies balanced by bright lemon zest and green apple. Lively and still quite youthful.

My life is now complete. (Until next time) ;-P scents of brioche mixes with the sea breeze pushing the flowers of the lime tree through the window. A note of flintyness followed by hazelnut. Pure Chardonnay fruit with a richness that will live forever.

This just gets better with every release, a little leaner than the '02, but that's indicative of the vintage, really loving the reductive high toned citrus quality to it, magical wine.

Nice to see Ruinard back on track. Yet another proof that 2004 was brilliant for Chardonnay.

All of these sparkling wines were tasted blind. Doesn't matter how you hide them...Ruinart wines always shine through and are my favorite. Clean, focused, young
