1993 Dom Perignon P3 Plenitude Brut Champagne

100 Points - Tyson Stelzer, Champagne Guide

“Richard Geoffroy describes his first vintage as defining everything about Dom Pérignon: the harmony, the integration, the opulence, the … And then he runs out of words and waves his arms like he is about to take to flight. And all the more so with extra age. After almost three decades, this is a 1993 that has attained that glorious place where every universe of complexity intersects with profound balance and integrity. Radiating a glowing golden-yellow hue, primary fruit has evolved to glacé peach, grilled pineapple and preserved lemon, even a suggestion of peppermint, perfectly massaged by almond nougat, brioche and layers of mixed spice, subtly evolving to a place of incense, pipe smoke and dark chocolate. The energy and poise that it upholds are earth-shattering in the presence of such complexity, a grand paradox of creamy and silky meets chalky, mineral and focused. In sheer line and length it is effortless, enduring, undeviating. The greatest bottle of 1993 Dom Pérignon I have ever tasted, arresting as much by its sheer freshness as its mythical complexity.”
