1996 Moet & Chandon Champagne Cuvee Dom Perignon Rose (750ml) [SLC]

"93 out of 100 - Another example of this era, the 1996 Dom Perignon Rose offers plenty of energy and tension, both signatures of the vintage. At the same time, though, the fruit never fills out, which tilts the balance to acidity and austerity. Frankly, I liked the 1996 more when it was younger. Today, the fruit has either begun to drop out or is simply less expressive. I look forward to checking in on the 1996 soon to see if this may have been a less than perfect example.
