Dom Pérignon, Rosé--Vintage 1990
Epernay
In two six-bottle original cartons
"Superbly euphoric nose, as languorous and silky as a guitar solo by Carlos Santana. As usual, Richard Geoffrey - like his predecessor - has succeeded in creating a wine that has seductive suppleness, complexity, and concentration in one and the same wine. In that sense, Dom Pérignon has a greatness that no other wines can really match, excepting La Tâche in Burgundy. Besides wonderful structure there are layers of red and exotic fruit, with blood orange as the guilding star. All these fruits are sensitively braided together with all the classically toasted fireworks. I noticed with interest - when this wine was served blind - that it wasn't at all popular with the novices: they couldn't see past the stables and outhouse in the nose. How differently people can perceive things!" Richard Juhlin, 4000 Champagnes
