Smoke . toastiness . tar and ripe fruit emerge from the glass in a generous . expansive style. This is a relatively simple Dom Perignon . yet the wine possesses outstanding balance and plenty of harmony. The tasting begins with a wine that breathes and comes alive in a light . playful spiral . with touches of angelica . coconut . cinnamon . cocoa and tobacco. In the mouth . the wine reaches a state of complex fullness: earthy . smoky and pearly . underscored by the vibrant warmth of peppery spice. The sensation of intensity develops and melts into a deep . rounded heart . with a fruity . exotic maturity and a slight touch of aniseed. This sensation . almost unsettling . is even more pronounced in the finish . while the notes of spice . still present . remain discreet . with toasted and iodine flavors.
