Dom Perignon Champagne 2004, 75 cl (Non Gift Box)

A truly great vintage of Dom Perignon - 96/100 Points, Wine & Spirits Magazine, 95/100 Points - Wine Spectator. Drinking well now, but will last through 2024 Floral softness to the gritty minerality that typically charactrises Dom Perignon champagnes. Expressions of candied fruit, plant life and exquisite leaf freshness. Plunges into darkness, spices and liquorice root. This wine has a physical presence. It is striking and demanding, tactile and vibrant rather than aromatic. It is built on rhythm and rupture more than harmony. After an initial cloud of softness, we hit a mineralised verticality that gradually opens out to suggest a bitter, iodised and saline nobility.
