"Three 1996s from Dom PĂ©rignon are special. After having compared original releases and ĆnothĂšque bottlings across a number of vintages going back to 1964, I am increasingly of the belief that the most enjoyable Dom PĂ©rignons are impeccably stored bottles of the original release. The 1996 Dom PĂ©rignon RosĂ© is simply off the charts. What a wine. The 1996 RosĂ© has begun to fill out rather dramatically. Today it is rich, powerful and totally seductive."
