96/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2006 Dom Pérignon P2 is razor-sharp on the nose, much more malic than I was expecting, much more primal. It brought to mind dew-speckled Granny Smiths with crushed limestone and a touch of petrichor. The palate is bright, vivid and does not hold back. It’s tensile with a thread of acidity that some might find shrill, but nevertheless, I loved the intensity and drive on the finish. Perhaps on its own, the 2006 comes across a bit raw, though it mellows with aeration and loses some of its cut-glass edge. I would afford it another couple of years.

The 2006 Dom Perignon P2, crafted from a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay with a modest dosage of 4.5 grams, is presenting exceptionally well at this stage. It unfurls a complex, deep bouquet of smoke, ripe orchard fruits, mango, exotic fruits and spices. Medium to full-bodied, rich and expressive, its harmonious and enveloping and has gained structure and tension compared to the initial 2006 Dom Perignon, while the palate is perfectly balanced with delicate gastronomic bitterness and chalky dry extracts that contribute to its long, mineral-driven finish. It should go well with delicate fare. P2 is the acronym for the Plenitude 2 series, Dom Perignons second life, indicating that bottles are kept by the house to let them age on the lees and to obtain different expressions of the same wine throughout its life, letting time work its magic and thus acquiring additional complexity.
