Friday, December 25, 2009 - We don't drink DP by the case load, but we've been drinking it several times a year for the last two decades or more. The 2000 we had on Christmas 2009 was hands down the most disappointing bottle we've had. We knew the 2000 wasn't a 1996, but this was just so basic. The 1998 and 1999 are both better. Maybe this just shouldn't have been declared a vintage. There was essentially no complexity, none of the yeasty goodness we've come to enjoy. It was a fine sparkler, but it wasn't a £100 bottle of Champagne. Next time, perhaps it'll be the Krug.
