Moet & Chandon, Dom Perignon Vintage:2012 The nose is rich

The nose is rich

There is outstanding concentration and muscle to the punchy medium weight plus flavors that conclude in a beautifully long and notably firm finish of focused power and seriously good depth

It's a different style from the regular Aalto from this same year

but that is far from the case here

Moet & Chandon, Dom Perignon Vintage:2012 The nose is richThe 2008 Dom Prignon continues to show very well, offering up a pretty bouquet of Anjou pear, fresh peach, citrus oil, fresh pastry, smoke and iodine. On the palate, it's full bodied, lively and incisive, with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity. The finish is long, saline and well defined. As I wrote earlier this year, this is the finest Dom Prignon since 1996,
