Dom Pérignon, Oenothèque 1996
Disgorged in 2008 and tasted in 2011 with Richard Geoffroy. This has all the wonderful character and attack of the year, which I adore whenever it was disgorged. It is a superb Champagne vintage for long keeping, although there was an issue of oxidation on the black grapes which DP triumphantly avoided. The element that most entrances me here is the great minerality and the 'iodé', almost marine taste of the Oenothèque - this is impossible to resist. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
