  Man skal jo være glad for toffee , sherry , havtorn og citronmåne og meget få bobler . Mangler DP krudt kendetegnet på næsen for vinnørden men bordet med almindelig vinkendere var vilde med den og svært ikke at tømme hele flasken selv!

  I would never had e guessed 1993.. so lively in structure with great mousseux and acidity. Very wide range of aromas out of the glass.. and on the broad palate: chocolate („Toblerone“ to be precise (if you know the swiss touri creation)), plums, ripe cherries & apricots, figs, roasted almonds and honey. The age added tertiary notes of forest floor and champignons… Decent and elegant, long but not massiv.

  It always amazes me how Dom can be so consistent and reliable, despite it massive production volume. At 30 years old, this wine exceeded my expectations and goes to show that good bones will always stand the test of time. Rich, honeyed notes of poached apples, grilled pineapple, almonds, macadamia, marigold, and salted butter on sweet brown bread; with time, a touch of oceanic minerality crept in, along with crushed shells. Perfectly balanced on the citrusy palate. The wine had gone flat, as Dom tends to do with age, but the acidity was so spot on that I didn’t even miss it. A glorious example of aged Champagne from a reputable producer.

  Generously shared by my friend Paul, this is the greatest champagne I've ever tasted. Amber in color, the aromas and flavors are unlike any I've ever experienced in a Champagne. I've only had a couple of old white Burgundies with characteristics similar to this. Notes of fresh honeycomb, sea salted butter on sourdough, butterscotch. The finish reminds me of a creamier, nuttier cheese with a mellow richness (mimolette comes to mind). What was once a lemon citrus has evolved into tropical fruits (passion fruit, grilled pineapple, kumquat). While the wine has lost its bubbles, and there's less tension of youth, there is still a vibrant acidity that almost gave the illusion of fine bubbles. Hard to describe. But aren't all great wines?
