this is the finest Dom Pérignon since 1996
powerful entry
Sweet floral and minty notes add freshness on the finish
My only real criticism of Roederer is the estates insistence on using lot numbers that resemble missile launch codes in their complexity
Mission Haut Brion Vintage:1990 this is the finest DomThe knockout nose, with all its smoke, hot stone, campfire embers, burnt earth, tobacco, cigar wrapper and roasted, ripe red fruits is a beauty. Full bodied, with good concentration, the tannins are a bit rustic, so the wine lacks the polish of the better vintages, but with decanting, the wine fills out, offering a classic expression of its charms. You can drink now with 1 2 hours of air, else, wait another 5 years.
