Dom Pérignon--Vintage 1996
Tasting Note: The brilliant 1996 Dom Pérignon, which has largely disappeared from the marketplace, may be the finest young example of DP I have ever tasted. Notes of crushed rocks, honeysuckle, lemon oil, orange marmalade, and white pear provide a stunning aromatic display as well as palate impression. Great acidity and huge flavour intensity backed up by vibrant acidity make this an exquisite Champagne. It should drink well for 20-25 years, possibly longer. Readers should remember that the 1971 Dom Pérignon Rose is still drinking exquisitely. I recently had the 1969 and 1970 Dom Pérignons (from magnum), and both were drinking brilliantly. It makes one realize just how long-lived these wines can be. Production is confidential, but there must be hundreds of thousands of cases of Dom Pérignon since it available in most of the worlds luxury hotels and restaurants. 98 Points, Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 162, Dec 2005.
