"A striking Champagne from a vintage with assertive power and prowress, it will need time to deliver the trademark Dom Perignon complexity. Bright,floral notes, sweet brioche, lemon rind, oyster shell, some spice and subtly nutty hints. The palate sparks to life with great depth and brisk attack " plenty of energy and verve, concentrated red-fruit flavours amid alluring, harmonious, creamy texture."

"A staggering, breathtaking vintage for the Dom, rightly compared with 82, 90 and 96. Merely an infant, this is an ultra-honed, chiseled wine which is at once linear and at the same time expansive and powerful, with incredible fruit presence and tension, it will be exceedingly long-lived."

Breathtakingly expensive but there's no argument that it's a great wine and top vintage. The Dom style is all about finesse, with fruit uppermost but also tremendous underlying complexity. "

Wine Advocate 96 points!"The 2002 Dom Perignon is at first intensely floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. With time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical. Ripe apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent Dom Perignon. The wine's volume makes it approachable today, but readers in search of more complexity will want to cellar this for at least a few years to allow for some of the baby fat to drop off. Geoffroy describes the vintage as very ripe and adds that some of the Chardonnay showed the ill-effects of the hot growing season in it the somewhat burned, dehydrated fruit that came in that year. This bottle was disgorged in July, 2009. To be released summer 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2032. 96 points
