and honeyed nuances

the 2015 Clos Fourtet has lifted menthol notes on the nose over a core of chocolate-covered cherries

crushed flowers and some of the fragrant steeping herbs used in Fernet-Branca

but I notice that the flavors seem to become sweeter and riper the longer this wine stays in the glass

the finish is polished and long

2017 Dom Perignon Moet & Chandon Vorverkauf and honeyed nuancesGalloni 97 Punkte: The 2017 Dom Prignon is so impressive. A sort of mini 2002, the 2017 is a Champagne of textural richness and resonance above all else. Its creamy, voluptuous contours are so inviting. Production for the 2017 is tiny, about a three month supply, so this wine will come and go pretty quickly. That represents a fairly dramatic shift in philosophy at Dom Prignon. In the past, a wine like the 2017 would not have been commerically viable
