Thursday, December 8, 2011 - Dom Perignon Dinner (2002,1996,2000 Rose,1971) (Man Wah Restaurant, Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hong Kong): More golden in colour than the 2002 that preceded it but is still young-looking. Nose is...WOW....very light but rich acacia honey, scents of honeysuckle, hints of acetone, high notes of a violin, lots of fresh-toasted brown bread.....and lovely brioche at the back end...complex, rich but surprisingly understated. Palate is....oooh...rich, rich brioche but still with a very balancing sharp acidic cut. Very bracing.... a touch of ozone....and Epsom Salts. Surprisingly young and vibrant, although quite heady. A definite notch up from the 2002, but not as scintillating as the 1996 Oenotheque we drank alongside it.
