    Ruinart 1998 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut Chardonnay (Champagne)

    Rich, toasty, mature, this important Champagne is all those things. It's certainly mature for a 1998 vintage, which means it would be delicious to drink now. But the ripeness, allied to the serious acidity and wood structure, do suggest that it's likely to age more.
