Comment later.. a day later. This is a very expressive, if not dramatic, wine with a satin floral finish and more than a hint of brioche. While I have enjoyed the P2, both rosé and brut, this is a first P3 experience with some of the best wine friends ever. And that's the value of all wine. Share with friends. — 4 years ago
Crisp and tasty. Notes of pear, green apple. Not as effervescent as other champagnes. Closer to the bubbles from a Dom P2. I enjoyed it very much with caviar and creme fresh — 5 years ago
Sinceramente x essere un’annata del secolo lo trovo meno grasso e complesso rispetto al 2006 o 2002. Ottimo e sicuramente negli anni potrà essere favoloso ma dopo tutto quello che si è detto mi aspettavo molto di più. Bevuto al fianco del P2 sembra un prosecco... 🤨😆 — 6 years ago
Last week was a combo of 4th Friday and Open That Bottle Night on back to back nights. Needless to say, the lineup between both days was full of heavy hitters, so I’m only posting standout bottles.
The insane champagnes continued with this also from @joe leatherwood . I think this may be the best Dom I’ve had to date (up there with the 2000 P2). Where the Selosse was oxidized and powerful, this was more finesse and layered. Still retaining a lot of those warm/fresh baked bread notes as well as honeyed stone fruits, this showed more chalk, limestone, and “lift” to it. A streak of minerality was noticeable down the middle of the palate. Caramel nougat, and a wonderful balance of floral notes highlight the finish. Bravo! — 5 years ago
After a couple months of hiatus, the Friday City Club group was able to get back together (albeit a smaller, more spread out group) for an epic hosting by @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds and 1 dessert wine, all served blind.
Everyone in the room knew this was something spectacular from first whiff. It was one of those wines where every aspect felt perfect as not one thing stood out. It was slightly yeasty but also fresh and citrus driven. Rich, but racy. Baked lemon pastries, caramel dipped golden delicious apple, classic chalk and limestone. Incredible mousse. I called this late ‘90s Dom Oenotechque/P2. — 4 years ago

Wow. Both fruit and brioche working together in the best way.. At 20 years, still a mere babe. Thanks to 67 Pall Mal for offering this by the glass. I have 12 bottles in home storage and might have to start working them through the rotation. — 14 days ago
