Classic Dom notes but with a yougurty tang. Possibly a flaw but really enhanced the experience for me. Overall a much more unique Dom than I’m used to. Plenty of fizz and no signs of decline.

Drank at friends as the clock struck Midnight and the 12-minute fireworks display began over Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour. Almost identical notes as the bottle we took to share with friends in Seattle over Christmas. Gorgeous mid-range bright jewelled gold colour. Brief mousse followed by persistent streams of micro-bubbles. Nose is still very primary… brioche, lemon skins, crushed limes. Palate is super-fresh, very primary, dilute by any DP standard but still a lovely indulgence. Has a lovely final resonance and reverberance at the back of the head on the finish. Happy New Year!

Gorgeous mid-range bright jewelled gold colour. Brief mousse followed by persistent streams of micro-bubbles. Nose is still very primary… brioche, lemon skins, crushed limes. Palate is super-fresh, very primary, dilute by any DP standard but still lovely over Christmas holiday eggs Benedict late breakfast. Has a lovely back end resonance and reverberance in the back of the head on the long finish. A nice way to say thank you to our friends who hosted us over a chilled Christmas in Seattle along with Angela cooking the Eggs Bebedict for them.

Pure gold. Rich and developed. Tarte tatin and honeyed almonds. Very fine mousse. Great persistence. In a lovely spot to drink now.
