1996 Dom Perignon 1x75cl

Vinous – 95

One of the more accessible wines of the year today, the 1996 Dom Pérignon impresses for its exceptional balance and class. Lemon peel, white flowers and mint are laced together in the glass. The 1996 is in a terrific place today where it can be enjoyed or cellared for a number of years. [Antonio Galloni, 10/01/2014]

The nose gives intense toasty, biscuity notes with an underlying fruit character of warm strawberries, golden delicious apple slices, oyster shells and chalk dust. Very crisp, fine, youthful and fresh in the mouth, the finish provides layers of minerals, citrus fruits and a pleasant creaminess in texture and flavour. [31/05/2011]

Just disgorged, no dosage. This will eventually be a P3 with a bit of dosage. Probably under 6 g/l. A little severe but there is so much more buried in there than in the Moët 1996. [29/08/2017]
