I admit i was 'ignorant ' last time when i said that i don't really enjoy Dom Perignon . During my 'younger days' ( few years back ) i've tasted DP 1995, 1996, 1998 , and recently 1999, 2000.
I have come to realize that the reason i did not enjoy it purely i was drinking htem too young! Dom Perignon ( 1638-1715) was the perfectionist in champagne making and never intended the wine to be drink sub optimumly.
After a rather dissapointing Krug champagne dinner ( MV, 96, 97 ) , DP 1990 was like tear drops from heaven during M's birthday dinner. Deep Yellow , near gold colour, fresh on the nose, fine delicate ( abundance) bubbles,nice mousse - hazelnut with tint of citrus aroma.
mid- fulll body, long finishing with a mild sweet at end palate.
simply marvellous.
Remember! don't gulp down all the champagne at one go....leave it to breathe a little and you'll notice some mild change , more intensity onthe taste. just gets better!
Market price going for $550- $850 now. Every drop was precious... defiantely go into my yearly ( if not monthly ) wish list
