One of my favorites!!! Havw tried it 2 times — 12 years ago
Flirting with perfection, this bottle was special. Opened at Mother's Day, is shows depth, drive and enormous acidity, leaving the finish crisp, clean and very long. I've had the '02 at least 10 times by now, and this Bottke is by far he best one. Great wine! — 12 years ago
Nice fruit intermixed with cassis, licorice, roasted meats, leather, and truffles. And a little brett which seems like a typical Beaucastel. Opened up more later on. Should of decanted multiple times. Dinner at Zahav with Barb. The wine was excellent with Lamb Shack — 11 years ago

For centuries now, the luscious, bright, all-encompassing delight of Champagne has been used to toast happy occasions. Often times a decent bubbly does the trick, but other times, something grander deserves to be poured.
Dom Pérignon (named after the monk who put Champagne on the map), a 2000 vintage. It's the kind of Champs one drinks upon making the decision that wine is not just a hobby, not just a passion, but a career. — 10 years ago
