Noten/Geschmack: in der fülligen und abwechslungsreichen Nase vermischen sich Blumen und Früchte, dann pflanzliche und mineralische Noten. Die taktile Präsenz des Bouquets zieht uns unmerkbar mit. Ein Hauch samtig weißer Blüten mit fruchtiger Aprikose und Mirabelle. Frische Rhabarber- und Minznoten weichen feinsten Nuancen aus mineralischer Asche. Dazu kommt weißer Pfeffer.
James Suckling bewertete Champagne Dom Pérignon 2012 wie folgt: “Wonderful elegance and balance to this Dom Pérignon with cooked apple, lemon and hints of white pepper and salt. It’s medium-bodied with really fine bubbles and balance. Spicy at the end. So wonderfully fresh, linear and long. Racy and elegant. A DP that invites to drink right now. All about finesse. Tension, too, with precise phenolics and bright acidity on the back palate. Subtle energy. Drinkable now, but will develop beautifully in the bottle. “- 97 Punkte
Wine Spectator bewertete Champagne Dom Pérignon 2012 wie folgt: “This eloquent Champagne has an enticing waft of Mandarin orange on the nose that continues on the palate, which is layered with flavors of crushed blackberry and cassis, toast, chopped almond, graphite and oyster shell. A bright, finely-knit and harmonious version, with a lovely, raw silk-like mousse, and a lasting, expressive finish. Drink now through 2037.”- 96/100 Punkte
Decanter bewertete Champagne Dom Pérignon 2012 wie folgt: “What a magnificent bouquet for this Dom Pérignon 2012! Pastry, a hint of smoke and autolytic notes provide a compelling counterpart to eager yet elegant aromas of citrus (lime, tangerine and kumquat) joined by those of fresh fruit, herbs, liquorice, and menthol. There is even a refreshing note of ivy. The palate is tense, vibrant, and very fresh despite its impressive density, which meets its match with an unending finish. This 2012 incarnates the very essence of Dom Pérignon with such a concentrated degree of intensity, along with a capacity for ageing, that it is surely destined for a second life in a P2 edition.”- 98/100 Punkte
