L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

"The 1998 Dom Pérignon has an intense white-golden color and is beautifully clear and fine on the nose, which indicates a lovely maturity and displays grey bread, almond cake and iodine flavors, along with lemon and orange aromas. This clarity and mineral freshness proceeds on the highly elegant, finesse-full and silky textured palate, and the complexly flavored, very distinguished finish is dry and mineral, revealing a stimulating salinity and tension. The 1998 seems young still, but is certainly a great pleasure to drink and will be for many years".

Suckling:

"A P2 release indicating this has been matured to the 2nd Plenitude, the middle stage of Dom Pérignon's three-phase life as defined by Richard Geoffroy. This is a wine with some real tension between complexity and freshness that makes for incredibly engaging drinking. The nose offers up a little white peppery edge from the pinot, as well as oyster-shell, saline freshness, red florals, sweet-smelling woody spices, brioche, spiced biscuits and subtle roasted coffee notes. Impressively complex. The phenolics register on the palate as an impression of density. A Champagne that's discreetly mineral and saline with sorbet-like texture through the middle before finishing with comet-like line and length".
