Dom Pérignon--Vintage 1985Offered in original cartonsTasting note: Several notes dating from 1993. Consistently good, reaching its plateau of perfection in 1996, served by John Jenkins at Childerly Hall in 1996: pale, fine bubbles; fragrant, whiff of vanilla; firm and dry but not remotely austere. Long 'smoky' flavour and finish. Last noted at a Bacchus Society dinner on Mud Island, Memphis, memorably coping with 'Arkansas Razorback Caviar on Cork Cake, scrambled eggs and fresh truffes'. Delicious. Sept 1999. ***** M.B.
