Dom Pérignon
P2 Brut Champagne Blend
Champagne, France
Light straw gold, so much lighter and younger-looking than the 95 Winnie next to it. Great youthful color and energy in the glass. Has a white burg kind of nose… notes of citrus fruit, white stone, some earth, some spice. Great mouth feel. Amazing power. Probably the best Dom I’ve ever had (and that sample size is quite large). (Bday 2 of 12)

Now is the perfect time for this wine. More Chardonnay expression than Pinot - super clean, elegant, rich and honeyed.

Austere (this was the Oenotheque ROSÉ) . Live Dom Pop but find this one really tight. P2 bottling. They will certainly do a P3, it totally deserves it.

Jan 25th, 2015Expansive and rich. Golden-hued in the glass with a delicate mousse. Notes of saltwater taffy, dried pear and apple, toffee and brioche. Intense and focused, with a well-integrated acid backbone, the 1995 Oenothéque is both poised and powerful. Marzipan, light toast and apple galette on a medium-length finish. Disgorged in 2006. Drink now.

The aftertaste lingers.... and lingers! Big, bold, and beautiful, with a strong Chardonnay expression. Very toasty, ripe fruits, and lots of smoke. Would love to taste it again after some time to see how this evolves!
