2015 Dom Perignon Vintage Champagne

"A super-complex Champagne with chewy tension. Aromas of coffee beans, lemon peel, burnt sugar, chalky minerality, barley candy and tarte tatin. Fine pinprick bubbles with flavors of lemon leaves, aspirin and Mirabelle plums, plus a touch of grapefruit bitterness keeping the tension. Zesty yet integrated chewy acidity and a medium body with a toasted finish. Drink or hold."

"The 2015 Dom Pérignon is terrific. Bright and poised, the 2015 shows terrific energy. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint, white pepper and slate all race across the palate. There's gorgeous tension and backbone here, with bright saline notes that extend the mid-palate and finish. This is a fine showing in a vintage that has proven to be tricky. I am intrigued to see how the 2015 develops in the coming years." Drink 2025 - 2045

"Medium yellow-green with silver reflections and a delicate mousse. Fine aromas of honeydew melon and brioche, a subtle chalky minerality, and hints of Linden blossom honey - a harmonious and open bouquet. Good complexity on the juicy palate, with integrated and balanced acidity giving structure. Cloves and guava show on the finish, with Golden Delicious apple in the aftertaste. Certain ageing potential. (PM)."
