Sunday, March 12, 2023 - Dom Pérignon through Decades: Matter of Taste Masterclass “Dom Pérignon through Decades”. Impressive demonstration of the longevity of Dom Pérignon 1959-2012 with most still decent if not great shape. However, I did prefer the linearity of more recent vintages (2012, 2003) and consequently the wine of the tasting was also the straightest of them all which was the 2002 P2. Of the older vintages 1980 and 1975 were drinking best in my view. More snippets on history, fun facts and wine list included in the tasting story.

Tasting note:
The aroma profile very much Cognac-like with caramel, an array of nuts, cigar and cigar box. Unlike the 1962, this still had tangible fruit left: bruised apple, raisin and other candid fruit. The palate was intact, again with Cognac-like complexity, acidity more dominant but still in balance.
