Fully mature, with a deep golden color, fine mousse, and complex bouquet of brioche, cut apples and almonds. Medium bodied, with surprisingly good acidity, a creamy mid palate, and a long and focused finish. We had this for our 25th anniversary, and I see the only other time I’ve had this vintage was at our 10th anniversary in 2008!

Dinner at Perilla (Chicago, IL): Mature Dom. Sweet, with an incredibly distinct note of caramel on the nose here. There's a lushness and breadth here that you don't get in grower Champagnes, and I am really here for it. For my palate, a bottle right at peak. Hard to expect much more from this.

This was a beautiful golden hue with a nose of toasted pineapples and brioche, apricots and walnuts. This continued to evolve in the glass into orange peels and was just powerful and balanced. Well aged champagnes are just so special.

(Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon) Light yellow color; nice minerally, tart lemon, subtly yeasty, tart white peach nose, that takes on a coffee ground nose after 90 minutes in the glass; tasty, youthful, tart white peach, mineral, lemon palate with medium acidity; medium-plus finish 93+ pts.
(Dom Perignon) was good but very forward. A touch chunky but finessed out over the next couple of hours. Really intense and alot of stuff in reserve.

Med. dark gold; rich yeasty and nutty nose but in great shape despite quickly dissipating bubbles. Like a nicely aged Burgundy. B&J xmas party
