This is what P3 does - combine extraordinary aged complexity with a hint of freshness. Medium deep burnished gold with a gentle stream of minute bubbles but not enough to prickle the tongue. Smells like dark bourbon without the alcohol. Smoky. Deeply flavorful with just enough acidity. Very challenging. Demands intense concentration to appreciate fully.

DP Extravaganza! (Friend's place): From a magnum. Again really fresh, kindof toasty, this was lovely but in magnum format felt like the wine needs more time. We love the regular P1 of this which has been in a great drinking window these last few years.

Dom Perignon P2/P3 Dinner (New York City): (En Mag) This is amazing stuff with many many years ahead of it. It didn’t have the almost drug-like qualities of the 1990 P3, it just showed a very high level of balance in flavors, fruit and acid. Had a nice little edge to it, like a fresh croissant with a golden brown edge.

Fully developed and most certainly in the midst of its apogee. Beautifully bright acidity. Aromas of cocoa powder, sweet spices, buttered brioche, quince, pear, applesauce, toasted almond and mirabelle plum with just a hint of honey and forest floor. Flavors of sweet spices, butter, cocoa, quince, mirabelle plum, brioche, apple, lemon and honey, with a touch of of salt and sweet tobacco. Both the nose and palate evolved immensely over the course of the tasting, which I stretched across two days.

Not sure if this bottle is flawed or not. Monotone and reserved aroma of yellow fruits, cooked fruits, some honey and cooked chestnut. Good acidity.
After aeration, more cookies but still cooked fruits and cooked vegetable.
Drinking with 90 Krug, a well aged champagne shouldn't be like this.
If it's not flawed, 91-92.
