1990 Dom Perignon Oenotheque Brut Millesime

95-97 Points, Neal Martin, The Wine Advocate
Moderate greeny gold hue. The is still quite closed, but very well defined with minerals, hazelnuts and banana-skin. The palate is very ripe with a lovely nervosite. A slight honeyed mid-palate, very refined but still very backward. Very intense finish. This will be amazing with some bottle aging. Tasted November 2003.

This has really come together, showing mature aromas and flavors of citrus and berry confit, coffee and mineral. Big and robust, yet well-balanced and sophisticated, with a long, coffee-tinged finish. Absolutely delicious.

95 Points, Vinous Media
Silvery gold color, with a very fine mousse. Absolutely stunning aromatics: pungent iodine, oyster shell, oatmeal, toasted wheat and bitter lemon. This smells like top-notch Chevalier-Montrachet from a great vintage. Broad and deep but also very fresh and bright, with suave, toasty citrus and smoke flavors accented by exotic spices. This expands impressively on the back, finishing with great impact, and impression of strong extract, and notes of bacon fat, toffee and minerals.
