March 18, 2023 - Dom Perignon 1959-2012: Ten wines, eight DPs plus a 2002 P2 vs Moet Collection match-up. A superb tasting. All five 40+ years old DPs showed lively, complex, balanced and intellectually as well as hedonistically appealing. Best wine was the 1976 (97pts) which needed air to blow of some faulty/oxidation notes and reveal all its glorious complexity and freshness. Just a step behind (all 96pts) the hyper complex 1959, an almost young-ish 1975, and the still tight but incredibly fine and promising P2. An odd-ball 1980 (95pts), likely a special bottling with higher dosage, showed like a Piper Heidsieck Rare on steroids. The only disappointments were the very slightly corked 2003 (but showed superb substance underneath) and a badly corked 1990.
TN: Brioche, nutty nose. Some citrus notes peak through too. On the palate this shows very plesant and quite fresh with citrus, peaches, nutty and minerality notes. Having had the P2 2002 in the next glass, this shows superbly fresh too but in terms of finesse, the P2 is on another level. Nevertheless, this is a very good Champagne.1 person found this helpful Comment -

March 12, 2023 - Dom Pérignon through Decades: Matter of Taste Masterclass “Dom Pérignon through Decades”. Impressive demonstration of the longevity of Dom Pérignon 1959-2012 with most still decent if not great shape. However, I did prefer the linearity of more recent vintages (2012, 2003) and consequently the wine of the tasting was also the straightest of them all which was the 2002 P2. Of the older vintages 1980 and 1975 were drinking best in my view. More snippets on history, fun facts and wine list included in the tasting story.
Tasting note:
This was tasted blind next to the 2002 P2. This spent 19 years on the lees. A slightly sweet bouquet, detailed with fine aging notes of hazelnuts, but limited expression and rather low intensity. A nice, decently fresh palate but with not that much structure and tension. Drinks nicely now, but wouldn’t cellar much longer.
