1999 Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 91 Points
France, Champagne
Nicely creamy, struck flint nose that gives it some complexity initially before opening up to a more obviously reductiveness. Quite precise on the attack, nicely focused and mineral with a creamy edge and a touch of lime on the finish. Classy. Fills out a bit and develops well with air. ****

1995 Dom Pérignon Champagne Oenothèque 93 Points
France, Champagne
Slightly fuller colour. Creamier nose. Quite rich with a touch of vanilla and custard apple. A lovely freshness coming through the mid-palate. Richer, more open, slightly spicy. Nice depth here. ****
