Orange in color, very pretty and unique.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and medium sized bubbles.
Dry on the palate with a nice mouthfeel.
Showing green apples, light grapefruits, yeast, light raspberries, citrus, limes, light earth, minerals and herbs.
This 16 year old is showing nice complexity at this point, and will continue to age nicely the next 10 years.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
Dom Perignon is not my favorite Champagne, but this one is really delicious. I got to call it when I see it.
Wine Spectator 97 points. Robert Parker 97 points.
Elegant and robust. I just love this vintage for Dom Perignon.
A blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
12.5% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

Lighter in color than the much older 1969, but much more expressive aromatically, dusty, sandy red-fruited aromas, flavors tend toward red-fruit as well, more of an elegant style of Ramisco, long finish, this seems at peak, or close to it (but I have more bottles, so will check in again within a year). Both of these are amazing at 11% ABV!! — 24 days ago
