Product information

96 Parker points: "The profoundly rich 1990 Dom Perignon is a creamy-textured, full styled offering that loses none of its elegance in spite of its flavour authority. It will improve for 5-10 years, and appears capable of surpassing the fabulous 1985 and 1982."

I have drunk the marvellous Dom Perignon a good dozen times. In 2004, for example, a dream champagne with a perfect combination of initial maturity (toasted bread, hazelnuts) and freshness - 97/100. But also bottles that had been stored too warm, such as in 2006, poured from two identical 1 litre bottles. It already seemed so mature and ripe that I had to think of the bottle variations of this otherwise highly praised champagne. Very fine and elegant, not to say harmless, but not with the power and expressiveness of the 90. There was no more than 90/100 in the glass. And as I didn't find it all very exciting, I left a larger sip in the glass and forgot about it. And that was a good thing. After an hour, the Dom Perignon had developed sensationally with air and temperature in the glass. There was suddenly complexity and structure, a completely different, much better wine. Lastly, at the end of 2006, much fresher and more lasting - 95/100 (source: wineterminator.com Dr Becker).
