DOM PERIGNON, ROSE 1996 |

Dom Pérignon, Rosé 1996 Slightly scuffed foils, 1 of which slightly corroded, excellent levels55% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay. The nose is all peat and malt, turning to wild strawberries and nectarine honey. Becomes increasingly haunting with air. Damp earth then creeps in. A taste like vanilla ice. Rose petals and rose water. Great delicacy, which (almost) masks the power. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 976 bts (owc)Estimates are per lot
