SP9393 pts. - Wine Spectator - Nov 15, 2018 Fresh, with focus and intensity, this nonetheless elegant Champagne is finely knit and minerally, offering flavors of crunchy white peach, toast and lemon curd, accented by aromatic hints of cherry blossom, fresh tarragon and spice that linger on the creamy finish. Drink now through 2022.WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 6/1/2017 Crisp with a delicious line of acidity and ripe with apple and lemon flavors, this wine balances freshness with hints of maturity from aging in Ruinart’s subterranean cellars. It’s both taut with the tension of cool-climate Chardonnay and showing signs of toastiness.WS9292 pts. - Wine & Spirits - December 1, 2013 If chardonnay could be a red wine, it might have the red fruit flavors of this blanc de blancs. Perhaps it’s the floral aspects that turn its chamomile and yellow flower notes toward violets, or the deep earth tones adding color to the flavor. The fruit is persistent, sunny in the middle, then shaded by an almost tannic character to the lees that places the wine with food, particularly roast veal.RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2011 This is a fabulous version of Ruinart’s NV Brut Blanc de Blancs. The wine seems fresher, more vibrant and less obviously sweet than in the past, all of which makes this a far more interesting wine. The trademark profile of lemon, jasmine and green apples is very much in the forefront while the wine’s textural finesse and length are both first-class. This release of the NV Brut makes a great introduction to the wines of Ruinart, Champagne’s oldest house. This is Lot LAGJSAF. Anticipated maturity: 2011–2014.
JS9797 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, October 29, 2015 A very muscular red with plum, blueberry, walnut and dried mushroom character on both the nose and palate. Full and chewy. Fabulous fruit and intensity. Amazing quality for the vintage. Wow. Better in 2017.VN9595 pts. - Vinous - Feb 2016 The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne is deep, powerful and explosive. The gravitas of the old vines and the blend of fruit that incorporates fruit from the southern end of the zone in equal parts with the north comes through loud and clear. Macerated cherries, smoke, spices, leather, licorice and French oak flesh out in a dense, stylish Brunello that captures the essence of the Pacenti house style. Drink this creamy, voluptuous Brunello over the next decade or so.RP9393 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 3rd Mar 2016 The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino Vecchie Vigne shows great balance that is due, in part, to the advanced age of the vines (most of which were planted between 1967 and 1972). The wine delivers a very fine, silky quality of tannin and an elegant approach. The bouquet exhibits elements of forest fruit, crushed mineral, balsam herb and wild mushroom. The effect is graceful and nuanced. The nice thing about this wine is that you don’t taste any of the fruit ripeness that characterizes this vintage. Those old vines were able to stand up to the summer heat.WE9393 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/2016 Underbrush, sun-baked earth, black spice, menthol and mature dark-skinned fruit aromas jump out of the glass. The bold, full-bodied palate doles out raspberry jam, ripe Marasca cherry, ground pepper and licorice alongside firm, fine-grained tannins that provide seamless support. It’s brawny and bold but the refined tannins also lend a measure of finesse.SP9292 pts. - Wine Spectator - Jun 15, 2016 Plum, black cherry, licorice and menthol aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this rich yet dense red. Fresh and balanced, with fruit and spice elements on the long aftertaste. Best from 2018 through 2028. 2,000 cases made.
VN91+91–94 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2016 Bright, medium red. A bit darker and more subdued on the nose than the Chevrets, offering pure scents of violet, bitter chocolate and licorice. Densely packed but light on its feet, showing excellent mineral grip and a strong vertebral column to its dark berry flavors. Tannins are almost strict today but ripe, and nicely buffered by strong, chewy dark berry fruit. Built for a long life in bottle but it will require patience.
