Moet et Chandon - Dom Perignon Champagner in Gepa, Brut 1990

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is really incredible with orange peel, dried pineapple and flan. Exotic. Full body, round and savory. Crazy character at the finish of cooked pineapple and tart tartine. Gorgeous; can't believe it."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The profoundly rich 1990 Dom Perignon is a creamy-textured, full styled offering that loses none of its elegance in spite of its flavor authority. It will improve for 5-10 years, and appears capable of surpassing the fabulous 1985 and 1982. It seems obvious that the quality of the 1990 Champagne vintage is going to be remarkable, and the world-wide demand will be unprecedented. The message - buy them now!"

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Fully mature, very rich nose. It was served blind and I guessed it was even older than 1990. Toasty nose and then frisky on the palate. Notably dry finish after quite a sweet palate. Into the phase of tasting like quince. Pungent. Very interesting."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Toast, honey, nuts and sweet citrus aromas with soft textures, moderate effervescence and a ripe, clean, creamy, frehs, apple and citrus rind finish."

WINE SPECTATOR: " Fans of bold wine will love this Champagne. It's made in a full-bodied, assertive style that blends overt toasty, earthy aromas with bracing, dry fruit flavors and a robust but smooth texture."
