1990 Dom Perignon
To celebrate my losing my job with BOC, I opened a bottle of DP'90 to share with my other half. The colour was a deep straw with plenty of mousse. A wonderful nose of lime and brioche. In the mouth, this is alive and vigorous with a lovely ripe grapefuit acidity mixed with a gooseberry reminiscent of a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The aftertaste on the wine is stunning; huge and long lasting, with an amazing combination of flavours across the tongue and cheeks. Superb, but sadly my last. 95/100.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.
2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

My understanding is that congratulations are indeed in order. Assuming that remains so, hurray!
