September 7, 2019 - Slightly citric fruit flavours and some white fruit, fresh green herbacious notes. Very few oxidative notes at first and not very expressive although clearly fine and delicate. Over time, the aroma profile expands adding butterscotch and almond. Good balance with fine acidity. Among the 2008 Champagnes, Rouis Roederer Cristal remains my top pick. But let's see what happens as the bottles age...

Agree on the Cristal needing many more years to reach its full potential, but so does the Dom I think. This clearly calls for a one-on-one duel between the two - ideally one now and one in a decade.
