To celebrate our youngest daughters 21st bday...the last red label...the crazy sharp acidity has finally been tamed! My experience with 02 DP has always been with high toned, pop rocks acidity rave party...last noted 8yrs ago...and now...it's finally calmed down, and is lovely! Wonderfully aged and sultry...classic DP caramel vanilla creme, white flower florals, sauteed apples...ginger and fresh bread dough mousse... pillow soft...salty crushed rock minerality...age has brought on some nice tertiary white mushroom, dried honey, and truffle...still a bright beam of lemon/grapefruit squeeze acidity...a PERFECT drink with a roasted chicken and mushroom dish! Happy bday Sophie!

Just at the leading edge of maturity, the ‘02 Dom Pérignon is bold, lively, lemony and gingery. It commands your tongue to curl up and pay attention. For the first few seconds there was a bright strawberry/cherry aroma which of course made me think it was Rosé.

Definitely at peak, where it will remain for a few more years. Bead just starting to fade, but hazelnut notes have yet to take over. Still light golden color. Creamy green apple, lemon zest, touch of yeast, very rich and smooth with a long finish.

A fabulous Dom. It is at prime drinking now. Drink the 08 now fir it’s vibrancy and freshness . The 02 for the full package.
