Dom Perignon is of the highest-rated and best Champagnes anywhere. Forget Cristal and the others, this is the one to buy while it's still available! Very Limited 98 Points James Suckling: "The Dom Perignon 2012 Brut is a firm and vivid Champagne with a precise, focused palate. Full-bodied and dry. It’s very layered and bright with light pineapple, peach, praline, cooked-apple and stone aromas and flavors. It’s very subtle and focused at the end. Integrated with richness and high acidity. Good depth. Reminds me of the 1995. Very clean. Solid. Lovely to drink already, but will age nicely." The Dom Perignon 2012 Brut Champagne is the latest release from this venerable Champagne house and can easily be aged 20+ years, if you can wait that long. Is this a gift? You can choose a gift card message of your choice during checkout and the wine will be wrapped in tissue paper and accompanied by tasting notes.

#AgedWineTuesday Pale lemon in color. Light nose of citrus fruits, minerals and light yeast. Medium-bodied with high acidity. Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, green apples, brioche, earth, light yeast, minerals, spices and herbs. Long finish with limes and herbs. This is a very tasty Champagne, albeit still young. Elegant and rich with nice complexity. Crisp and refreshing. Didn't love it right out of the bottle, and needed 45 minutes of airtime to open up properly, so be patient. I've had a few different vintages of this Champagne, and always enjoyed it. Needs 5 years to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. A blend of 51% Chardonnay and 49% Pinot Noir. Aged for 8 years on its lees. 12.5% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $275.

Lean and bright. Light and mineral with real precision. Quite austere. Should age really well

At the Dom Perignon dinner last Friday night. David Cross from Moët Hennessy who presented on the night said that this was the first showing of the 2012 in Australia. More intensity and power than the 2010. David thought the 2012 will be the better wine (a definite future P2 star) but the 2010 the better wine to drink now. Almost like a very good white burgundy with a little bubble.

This was after midnight on New Years, so no formal rating. Rich, yeasty nose. Powerful musk. First Dom I’ve had and unfortunately was too well oiled to glean any notes of merit.
