Critics Ratings

'A little severe but there is so much more buried in there than in the Moët 1996.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17+/20 (Aug 2017)

'This minerally. toasty wine has flavors of almonds and white stone fruits, and a long, finish. It is still young, and is just coming into great balance. Elegant and ethereal.' Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 96/100 (Nov 2006)

'The brilliant 1996 Dom Perignon, 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 intensity backed up by vibrant acidity make this an exquisite Champagne. It should drink well for 20-25 years, possibly longer.' - Robert Parker Junior, Wine Advocate, 98/100 (Dec 2005)
