Tasting Notes
The 2002 Dom Perignon is at first intensely floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. With time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical. Apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent Dom Perignon. The wine’s volume makes it approachable today, but readers in search of more complexity will want to cellar this for at least a few years to allow for some of the baby fat to drop off. Geoffroy describes the vintage as very ripe and adds that some of the Chardonnay showed the ill-effects of the hot growing season in the somewhat burned, dehydrated fruit that came in that year. This bottle was disgorged in July, 2009. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2032. Dec 2010, www.robertparker.com

Wonderfully caressing and origin typical. A great Dom Pérignon that charms from the start, but certainly not to be opened over the next five years. The silkiness and balance impresses me most along with a fluffy cream tone and stylish nuttiness. Jun 15, www.champagneclub.com
