Elegant and fresh despite the roundness of the vintage. Excellent.

Fuller but more neutral and not as interesting as the BdB.

Light pink. Dried cherry, powerful finish, excellent length.

Nice clean Blanc de Blancs.

Rather herbal and light.

The most crunchy and mineral of the three 2012 wines from individual appellations.

Slightly less intense and mineral than the Mesnil, but still good.

Lean, precise, great acidity. A real 2008.

Rounder and richer than the 2008 vintage wine. Some mature Champagne notes. Excellent now.

Crisp, dry, and lemony. Very good.

More weighty and toasty than the NV BdB, lower acidity. Not too exciting.

Bigger, round style, slightly toasty. Excellent depth. Clearly better than the 2007 vintage Brut.

Light weight, medium dosage. Bright citrus, excellent acidity. I quite liked this.

Light pink. Dry strawberry fruit. Good.

Brighter, deeper red fruit than the NV Brut Rosé. Brisk, dry finish that is more mineral. Excellent (as it should be at the price point!).

Well, what can I say? It's Dom Perignon, and despite being an easy target, it stole the show. Fantastically taut, fresh, bright, and bursting with energy because of the huge but ripe acidity. At the beginning of the road, but wow, should have decades of evolution in front of it. Reminiscent of the young 1996.

Complex, full bodied, unique vanilla note, not oxidative at all. This was also as outstanding as its reputation.

Light, lemony, some unclean elements. No.

Sorry, but I didn't note which vintage this new release was based upon. Perceptible sweetness, but lemony and balanced with excellent creamy texture. I liked this quite a bit.

Big, full, caramel, toasty style. Moderate dosage, seems fully mature. Again, I don't know the disgorgement date or the vintage upon which it is based.
