Palate
Mature and complex, moving from almond and ripe fruit into candied lemon, dried fruit, smoke and toast. The palate is dense and creamy, with considerable length and a gently bitter, savoury finish.

Monster Notes
2002 Dom Pérignon with more than 20 years behind it — this is no longer just Champagne for making a toast. Sit down and actually drink it with food. You get all those mature toasty, nutty flavours coming through. At S$550 this is obviously a special-occasion bottle, but please don't serve it freezing cold and finish it in ten minutes. Give the fellow some respect. 😂
