Tasting Notes:
96 points Jasper Morris
Drinking nicely from release, this DP is holding surprisingly well in the bottle, with glorious creamy, toasty fruit and a long, complex finish – certainly a few years left in the tank. (2/2023)
95 points Int’l Wine Cellar
Wonderfully subtle, complex aromas of white flowers, acacia honey, minerals, nuts and mushroom, with musky and leesy nuances. Oily, rich and smoky but with terrific verve and lift. Quite substantial and chewy for a young D.P. but not at all heavy. Yellow plum and strong soil tones in the middle and on the palate-staining finish. Offers a rare combination of richness and finesse. (ST) (11/2002)

94 points Vinous
A bevy of Dom Pérignons followed. The more I taste DP the more I am convinced that the most consistently reliable bottlings are impeccably well-stored original releases, rather than the far pricier Œnothèque series. The 1995 Dom Pérignon was subtle yet expressive, with an attractive smokiness on the finish. (AG) (7/2010)
