Tasting notes
The 1976 Dom Pérignon, from original wood case, was even better. In fact, it was staggering. Delicate and floral, the wine revealed incredibly precision and detail in a perfumed, sublime style. Sweet candied Pinot notes wafted on the ethereal, sensual finish. What a wine! Jun 2009, www.vinous.com

A wine that has impressed me very little in the past, with its vintage-typical, slightly burned, warm character. That's why it was it was such a great surprise that I liked the '76 best of all among sixteen vintages at a gargantuan dinner featuring wines from Moët in December 2000. This bottle had a sensual floweriness that distinguishes the foremost '76s, as well as a stately, long, sweet finish. Grandiose! It should perhaps be pointed out that the wine was served blind. Winner of the comprehensive DP tasting in Copenhagen 2006. Mar 2014, www.champagneclub.com
