DOM PERIGNON Vintage 2012 MAGNUM - NO DISCOUNT

Description

"Bright straw colour with a green hue and vivid fine bubbles. Fine toast with roasted nuts, nougat, lemongrass, lime, ripe peach, yellow plum and fresh brioche. The palate is distinct and mouthwatering with an invigorating acidity, mild creaminess, warm and ripe with generous stone fruit flavours, a slight nuttiness, pistachio and almond with an intense, fresh and persistent finish. Still youthful but a tremendous potential." - 96/100, Andreas Larsson - Tasted

JAMES SUCKLING Score: 97 Points
5 Jul, 2023 – Extremely intense and energetic with precision and focus. It's medium-bodied, racy and focused in both texture and structure. White pepper and bitter lemons. Drink or hold.

Drinking Window: 2021 - 2050 - What a magnificent bouquet for this Dom Pérignon 2012! Pastry, a hint of smoke and classic brioche notes provide a compelling counterpart to eager yet elegant aromas of citrus (lime, tangerine and kumquat) joined by those of fresh fruit, herbs, liquorice and menthol. There is even a refreshing note of ivy. The palate is tense, vibrant and very fresh despite its impressive density, which meets its match with an unending finish. This 2012 embodies the very essence of Dom Pérignon with such a concentrated degree of intensity, along with a capacity for ageing that it is surely destined for a second life in a P2 edition. - Yohan Castaing (at Bordeaux, 01 May 2021)
