Pretty color of light salmon.
Nose of strawberries, light raspberries, limes, green apples, light yeast, minerals and spices.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and small bubbles.
Dry on the palate with strawberries, tart cherries, lemons, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, light earth, yeast, sea salt, light brioche and minerals.
This 17 year old Rosé Champagne is always delicious. Rich and plentiful. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 7 years.
Easy drinking, complex and interesting. Crisp and refreshing.

Needs 30 minutes of airtime to open up properly. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

The 2008 Dom P2 is an exclamation point to the excellent, original 2008 DP release. This is a new level of P2 that is head/shoulders beyond 2000, 2002, 2004, and even 2006. Every taste is better than the last, with citrus and green apple crispiness and oyster shells in the mix. Happy to have scored a 6 pack of this. — 20 hours ago
Excellent with notes of white fruits, toast, yeast, and nuts! — 17 days ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2013 pours a deep garnet with an opaque core and a rusty brown rim; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and significant sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with desiccated dark fruit, salmiakki, leather, espresso, and a Maillard reaction thing. On the palate, the wine is dry it’s high tannin and medium acid at best…probably medium-. The finish is medium. Drink now. — 4 months ago

Certainly a very good vintage. Just never overly embraced Dom. But this is nice, beautiful in fact.
The entry is soft & even subtle. Lemon pulp, lime pulp w/ some zest, orange citrus blend, just ripe pineapple flesh, mango, green tropical melon, under ripe cantaloupe, whipped cream, soft/light white spice, sea spray, excellent, crumbled to powdery, dry chalkiness, lightly yeasty, bread dough to baguette crust, grey volcanics, limestone, hints of fresh & dry herbs, yellow lilies, spring flower & jasmine, excellent, soft acidity with a well balanced, gentle structure & tensioned, superbly elegant & smartly polished finish that lasts 90 seconds and land on fruit and gentle volcanics.

The nose bursts with ripe yellow peach, mandarin, and dried pineapple, layered with brioche and a hint of white flowers. The palate is plush yet electric, with creamy texture quickly cut by vibrant lemon zest and a light salinity. The finish is precise and long. — 11 days ago
