Description

A **** vintage, Michael Broadbent

This seems to me to be the best Dom Perignon since at least 1990 and probably long before.
Quite unlike the relatively tight, austere 1996 (which should probably be kept and drunk after the 1998), this cuvée is extraordinarily open and ripe already – it hits the palate with such force it is easy to confuse its ripeness with sweetness but then, in Dom Perignon style, it tightens up immensely and finished with great race and refreshing dryness. The nose initially suggests something headily fragrant – lilies perhaps – but then develops in the glassy to be much meatier and denser. But it took a glass 24 hours to develop the tight-knit, bready autolysis that is characteristic of most Dom Pérignon vintages, which suggests to me that this wine, while being super-welcoming, will also have a very long life ahead of it.
This was whistle-clean with none of the cork problems that have dogged some batches of 1995 Dom Pérignon. If the technical team at Moët & Chandon, led by the quite exceptionally able and convincingly passionate oenophile Richard Geoffroy can’t react suitably to this warning light, no-one can and I’m sure they have been testing their more recent corks to death.
