Ratings & Tasting Notes:

97 points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Tasted at Christies’/Linden Wilkie’s 1971 dinner. This bottle of Dom Perignon (original disgorgement) is slightly paler than the Cristal 1971 served alongside. It has that devastatingly gorgeous bouquet that is intoxicating right from the off. Walnut, dried honey, even a hint of marmalade all with exceptional delineation. The palate is beautifully balanced with perfect acidity. There are subtle motes of citrus peel, mandarin, crushed stone and honeysuckle, but there are just distant hints of flavor because it is the tension and the precision that defined this magnificent DP. Outstanding! Tasted April 2011.
