The 1978 Dom Perignon was another nice nose that was classy and more about the bread than the honey. There was a grilled vegetable edge (not in the negative sense), and we got into an eggplant versus zucchini debate. There was a lightly burnt toast edge, and it got a little musky but more perfumed. The 1978 was smooth, lovely and still fresh (91)

Fruitier than the '80 but without its restrained elegance. An aroma of mushroom cream and bread-like taste, with well-rounded edges. Fine apricot opulence in the middle taste gorgeously backed up by young gooseberry tones as well as the honey and chocolate of maturity. Perfect to drink in 2006!

A stunning Dom that has really stood the test of time very well. The color is amber-orange with light bubbles. The palate offers wonderfully complex flavors of toasted nuts, dried flowers, biscuits and caramel. Long, lingering finish.

  • 95p
Golden, tiny bubbles. Fresh feel and minerals, lively, towards high acidity, playfull, layered and transparent, very long if not as complex and refined as Cristal. 94
