Ruinart 1996 Dom Ruinart Brut Rosé (Champagne)

Country: France / Dom Ruinart Brut Rosé
Variety: Champagne Blend Champagne
Winery: Ruinart / Champagne

Shot through with minerality, almost flinty, this wine shows its vintage well. The red fruit element is now only a small part of what is now a fully mature wine. But the steely edge and tannic structure show that it will age, probably 10 years or more.
