Tasting note Dom Pérignon 1973
Appearance:
The colour is a deep, warm gold with light amber reflections - a sign of decades of ageing. The perlage is fine and restrained, yet still perceptible, with a delicate veil that slowly rises in the glass.
Bouquet:
The bouquet is complex and multi-layered. Ripe notes of dried apricots, honeycomb and caramel are dominant, accompanied by a spicy underlay of saffron, almond slivers and a subtle oxidation reminiscent of old library leather volumes. Slight hints of biscuit, toasted bread and a hint of mushrooms emphasise the elegant ageing.
Palate:
The palate reveals a harmonious balance between mature sweetness and restrained but present acidity. Flavours of candied citrus fruits, hazelnut and honey melange dominate, complemented by mineral accents and a subtly salty texture reminiscent of sea air. The structure is silky and creamy, with an almost velvety mouthfeel that is gently enlivened by the fine perlage.
Finish:
The finish is long-lasting and leaves a hint of roasted nuts, vanilla and a hint of bitter orange. The final spiciness and a slight earthy note add depth and invite reflection.
Overall impression:
The Dom Pérignon 1973 is a fascinating testimony to its time, which masterfully demonstrates the art of Champagne maturation despite the difficult vintage. The complexity and elegance are surprising, even if the youthful freshness has long since given way to maturity. A wine for connoisseurs that tells its own story - perfectly matured and best enjoyed on its own, perhaps accompanied by truffle hors d'œuvres or mature Comté cheese. Proof of Dom Pérignon's longevity and craftsmanship, provided the storage conditions have always been ideal.
