For me, this was the last wine dinner in NYC for 2016. The mags of champagne were terrific. The whites were all blind, and for most of us double blind (different folks supplied the whites, and didn't know what others had brought). The DRC GE flight was fantastic, even with a bad 83. And the 2005 Dujac flight was my idea, as some 05 red burgs seem to be opening up. Wrong in this case, as all three of these didn't deliver tonight. Perfect bottles, just in a shell and not ready.

From magnum, and it was classy and beautiful.

1990 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon
France, Champagne
1990 DP is quite variable in 750's, but this magnum was picture perfect. Pure, clean, intense, simply brilliant, and likely the best bottle of 90 I've ever tasted.

1955 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon
France, Champagne
Basically DOA, but a few of us hardy souls tried it, and enjoyed the marzipan finish (which required not breathing as you drank it since the nose was very unattractive). A guy's gotta give his birth year a chance.
