1995 Moet & Chandon "Dom Pérignon Oenothéque" Brut Champagne

96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 1995 Dom Perignon Oenotheque is the second release of this wine, and was disgorged in 2005. This silky-textured Champagne reveals breathtaking finesse, elegance and clarity in its perfumed bouquet, with delicate notes of pears and roasted nuts that add further complexity. The finish goes on and on. This mind-bending, kaleidoscopic Champagne possesses all of the qualities of profoundness, most importantly the ability to develop beautifully in the glass and the potential to acquire even more depth in bottle over the coming years. 1995 was a hot vintage, but this wine remains remarkably fresh. Simply put, the 1995 Oenotheque is a stunner. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2029." (03/09) 95 points Wine Enthusiast: "One of a series of limited releases of older vintages of Dom Pérignon, this wine is showing the mature richness of the vintage and of the Dom Pérignon style. It has toast, yeast, roasted almonds, a powerhouse of ripe fruits and a smooth, creamy aftertaste. Let this wine breathe before drinking, it will be worth it." (12/08) And 93 points from the Wine Spectator: "Rich in texture and beautifully balanced, showing lemon, honey, floral and peach notes. There's just a hint of toast and brine. This is lively and reveals candied citrus on the lingering aftertaste. Excellent length. Disgorged in 2005. Drink now through 2020." (06/09)
