Description
On the nose, initial floral nose gives way to notes of fresh almonds, dried apricots and toasted brioche.
In the mouth, the wine is full and round without being opulent and expresses great harmony. The attack is definite and intense leading to a silky finish reminiscent of preserved citrus fruits.

Pale color. Youthful aromas of lemon, quince, pear, toast, spice, chalk and red berries. Big, sweet and seamless, if a bit clenched in the early going. A powerful, very young wine whose fruit builds slowly in the mouth and explodes on the finish. A charry note contributes to its complexity. Possesses amazing depth of fruit, but the high quality of this wine can most easily be seen today on the extraordinary finish. May ultimately merit a 95+ rating.

93+/100 (November 1998)
At the peak of its drinking age the 1990 Dom Perignon is simply stunning, smooth and crisp on the palate with hints of pear, apple, citrus, strawberries, fine bubbles that only come with a correctly aged Champagne. In my top 3 favourite DP’s together with the 1996 and 2002. Enjoyed this together with Foie gras and fig jam, Spanish Bellota Jamon & Queso Currado. For dessert strawberries and wild berries mixed with natural yogurt was wonderful.
