William Kelley: The 2002 Dom Perignon P2 is showing very well
indeed, wafting from the glass with aromas of crisp yellow orchard
fruit, dried white flowers, orange oil, smoky peach, peat and
praline. On the palate, it's full-bodied, broad and textural, with
a ripe and muscular core of fruit, ripe acids and fine
concentration, concluding with a long and elegantly toasty finish.
As I wrote earlier this year, this is a ripe and powerful Dom
Perignon that finds its closest stylistic analogy in the 1990
vintage, and it is considerably less evolved than the more tertiary
2000 P2 today. While the P2 is a bit drier and more precise on the
finish than the original release, given the wine's slow evolution,
the difference between the two is less pronounced than it has been
for any vintage since 1996. To my palate, it really needs four or
five years in the cellar before it truly starts to blossom.
