Dom Perignon 1996 in Coffret Irodori Edition by Eriko Horiki

Dom Perignon 1996 Irodori Edition By Eriko Horiki

One of Dom Perignon’s rarest collector’s items.  Only 1996 bottles released.

I have had a lot of great vintages of Dom Perignon, but I do not remember any as impressive as the 1996. Even richer than the brilliant 1990, the 1996 Dom Perignon is still tightly wound, but reveals tremendous aromatic intensity, offering hints of bread dough, Wheat Thins, tropical fruits, and roasted hazelnuts. Medium to full-bodied, with crisp acidity buttressing the wines wealth of fruit and intensity, it comes across as extraordinarly zesty, well-delineated, and incredibly long on the palate. Moet-Chandon deserves considerable accolades for this prodigious example of Dom Perignon.
