Was wondering Agnese if there will ever be an early edition of ‘No Sediment’. Like the NY Post.
Only kidding, it must be a lot of effort developing videos. Always look forward to your Sunday post, which is follow by Mass, and then (my age permitting) a fine Burgundy.
i like dom a lot, i know you are supposed to like krug better but i prefer dom most days, like the 08 better than 13
Very nice tasting.
For me a bottle of DP is a rarity. But three bottles? OMG! Be glad you forgot your spittoon.
A couple of months ago a friend shared a bottle of 2006 DP she had received with my wife and me. We thought while still quite good it was past its peak, developing a bruised apple taste I find unpleasant. We thought it would have been better opened a few years earlier. I think even an age worthy champagne like DP are best opened by ~15 years. This video corroborates my preference. Thanks for thiks informative tasting.🍾
Should have got the P2 and P3 for one of the years.
(Things must be going well if you don't want to drink these).
Gorgeous wines. I finally had some P3 when we visited Moët last October. Not a shy wine at all delicious and super complex. And I’ve yet to have changed my mind, champagne is my desert island wine.
I love old champagne, but I also love young vibrant champagne. Last May I had the 61 Dom Perignon with some friends. It was definitely past it's prime and tasted like a bone dry sherry. Fantastic experience though. Had the 96 in 2023 and the 02 last summer, both were excellent, the 96 was probably better than yours, the fruit was older but it still had fresh acidity and plenty of bubbles. Cheers 🥂🥂
Very interesting tasting. I always enjoy all the different ageing stages of wine for different reasons (even fine Claret!), no reason to limit ourselves to only one.
like any wine, champagn has its own shelf life and drinking window.. very good and imformative video!
Thanks for sharing. I haven’t been so fortunate to do such a tasting.
Personally, I tend to be in the camp of enjoying younger vintages of champagne versus holding them for 20-30 years.
Part of the fun in drinking them is the lively, effervescent bubbles (a party in a glass) of the wine. Losing the bubbles is a big deal for me. As a general statement, I think this is true of most drinkers of champagne. There’s also the paradox of a greater price of an older champagne when (for me) the greater pleasure is in drinking the wine at a younger age. But hey, that’s just my palate!
There’s also the paradox
I tasted a Veuve Clicquot 1955 a few years ago : it was enjoyable but not great.
In Stockholm there was a lot of rich young boys who liked to spray this on the girls. When they were threatened with being banned from the exclusive clubs, they invented "washing". Buy two bottles, order the bartender to pour one of them down the sink…
love it! great video
No special occasion needed for these wines. They are an occasion by itself.
Thanks for the bubbly Sunday evening.
Wow.. So disappointing to hear about the 1996. I've had it about 5 years ago and it was drinking beautifully then.
Another wonderful tasting! One question: how old is a vintage when Dom Perignon first releases it? After all, your youngest wine is already over a decade old. And another: is the 1996 cork the one that you held up, which seems visibly eroded? If so, that's a pity…
I worked for Moet-Hennessy late 90s. I had a btl of a vintage Moet Rose which they don't produce every year. I bring it to a 1999-2000 New Years Eve party & I put it in their fridge. At 11:45 pm I go to get it & it's gone. The hosts of this party poured my wine with all the other cheap crap everybody brought in plastic cups 😲 LOL There was nothing I could do, it was gone. Moral of the story : don't bring great wine to a party where nobody cares . Lesson Learned 🍾
