It's not every morning that you wake up and do a Dom P vertical tasting, but that's exactly what I did last friday at the Wine Spectator Experience in NYC. The first in the vertical was the current release. After tasting the older vintages I could see how these wines could be cellared for years. The 2002 was full, rich and creamy with a strong toasty note and nutiness.

I'm not much of a champagne drinker and definately don't like the dry varieties. This Grand Cru Demi Sec had vanilla and almond flavors. I would definately buy and drink again.

Fragrances from citrus fruit peel to reinette apples and vineyard peaches precede the gentle finale of vanilla and cinnamon. Rapturous, powerful attack in the mouth. Full and round-bodied. A delightful roll over the palate. Climactic finale, intensely refreshing and lasting.
