Legendary Dom Perignon Oenotheque, Very Limited

We have a very limited amount of this rare gem available from the house of Moet & Chandon. It's like Dom's big brother, a bit brawnier and more mature. Act fast to take advantage of this rarity!
1996 Dom Perignon Oenotheque
On Sale $325.99
The 1996 Dom Perignon OEenotheque offers up layers of pastry, lemon, smoke and toastiness. At first deceptively understated, the wine turns positively explosive and layered on the palate, showing remarkable tension, elegance and power, all wrapped around a seriously intense frame. The balance between fruit and acidity is awesome. This is a marvelous DP OEeno. The OEeno is the same juice as the regular Dom Perignon, except the OEeno is aged on the cork while the regular DP is aged in crown-sealed bottles. Once disgorged, the OEenos gets a slightly lower dosage than is typical for the original release DP. This bottle was disgorged in 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2026.
Rated 97/100 points by Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
