Moet & Chandon Dom Perignon Champagne 750 ml 12.5%
$179.00
Lily-of-the-valley perfume and scents of lightly toasted brioche and almond rise from the glass of Moet's 2004 Brut Dom Perignon, along with hints of the apricot, pear and grapefruit that then inform a luscious and creamy yet strikingly delicate as well as consummately refreshing palate. Sweet-saline savor of scallop - also already intimated in the nose - lends compulsive saliva-inducement to a ravishingly rarified and persistent finish, joined by alkaline, nutty, liquid-floral, and nori seaweed notes for a performance of head-scratching subtlety and intrigue. This will be worth following for at least the next 6-8 years, in the course of demonstrating that iconic status as a luxury brand, and elevated production numbers by no means preclude a wine of understated as well as profound beauty.
