A single bottle of Dom Perignon from the highly acclaimed 1996 vintage.
The bottle has been carefully stored for its lifetime, - it was gifted to us 10 years ago by a friend who kept his whole collection cellared. We've since kept it slightly inverted towards the cork in even temperature, dark, low humidity space under stone stairs.
There's been some deterioration of the label, but the level of champagne is correct in the neck and hasn't reduced at all. The cork and muselet are fine and untouched.
Robert Parker, perhaps the world’s best known and most trusted wine critic, said:
"The extraordinary 1996 Dom Perignon champagne, perhaps the greatest vintage yet produced of this cuvée" Hedonists Gazette, August 2005.
“The brilliant 1996 Dom Pérignon, which has largely disappeared from the marketplace, may be the finest young example of DP I have ever tasted.
Notes of crushed rocks, honeysuckle, lemon oil, orange marmalade, and white pear provide a stunning aromatic display as well as palate impression. Great acidity and huge flavor [sic] intensity backed up by vibrant acidity make this an exquisite Champagne.
It should drink well for 20-25 years, possibly longer. Readers should remember that the 1971 Dom Pérignon Rosé is still drinking exquisitely. I recently had the 1969 and 1970 Dom Perignons (from magnum), and both were drinking brilliantly. It makes one realize just how long-lived these wines can be.”
