Dom Pérignon--Vintage 1990
Tasting note: The profoundly rich 1990 Dom Pérignon is a creamy-textured, full styled offering that loses none of its elegance in spite of its flavor authority. It will improve for 5-10 years, and appears capable of surpassing the fabulous 1985 and 1982. It seems obvious that the quality of the 1990 Champagne vintage is going to be remarkable, and the world-wide demand will be unprecedented. The message - buy them now. Robert Parker. Wine Advocate #109 (Feb 1997)
Tasting Note: First noted in September 1997 at a Hallwag press conference to celebrate the one-millionth copy of the Kleine Johnson, Hugh's annual pocket book, and , with Hubrecht Duijker, the excellent - though I say so myself (I had a hand in it) - Weinatlas Bordeaux. The Dom Pérignon suitably honoured the occasion. A lovely wine, unusually rich. Most recently, a magnum welcoming seven guests at Wilf Jaeger's hilltop house south of San Francisco Bay prior to his Romanée-Conti tasting: pale; elegant; noted as 'dry', crisp, very good length, lemon and with smoky aftertaste. Last tasted March 2002 ***** M.B.
