Tasting Notes & Critic Reviews:

The 1990 Dom Pérignon Oenothèque Rosé is praised for its complexity, balance, and long finish. Disgorged in 2007 after nearly 17 years on the lees, it is considered to be at its peak now or in the near future.

• Aroma: The bouquet is described as a complex combination of gingerbread, cashew nuts, dried figs, and candied orange peel, with hints of smoky and saline accents. Some critics also note truffles, mushrooms, tea, autumn leaves, and exotic spices.
• Palate: It is full and focused, with a creamy texture and near-perfect acidity. Flavors include dried cherry, berry, plum, and notes of dusty rose and kirsch. The overall impression is powerful yet balanced, with a prolonged, smooth finish.
• Appearance: The wine has a beautiful, mature, burnished copper or coral color.
• Critic Scores: The wine has received exceptional ratings, including 97/100 from Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate and 97/100 from Wine Enthusiast.
