In 2012, they really played the density card at Dom Pérignon, effortlessly compacting together delicious, crunchy, perfectly ripe fruit. The nose is welcoming, harmonious and deeply fruity, with DP’s hallmark fragrant smoky layers. At first, the wine feels deceptively light, but then comes the fruity power and sheer volume. The wine’s most unique feature is the tingling sensation that energises the rich, vibrant palate. It is almost electrically charged, bringing an exciting dynamism to the long, delicious palate.
