The just-released 1995 Dom Pérignon Rosé P2 is stunning. Young, delicate and vibrant in the glass, the 1995 has it all; expressive aromatics, crystalline fruit and fabulous overall balance. Cranberry, mint, hard candy, cinnamon and dried rose petals are laced into the super-expressive finish. The 1995 P2 is sweet and layered, but with lovely veins of chalky minerality that give the wine its sense of energy. A delicate, floral finish rounds things out nicely.

Rich and round. Very slightly toasty with great drive. More like 1996 rosé than it resembles the 1995 and 1996 whites. (JR)

Pale salmon pink in colour. Interesting nose! Some ground nuts and sweet coffee aroma. Refined and elegant. Exquisite complexity – this has superb flavour and breadth; classic champagne autolysis but with proper mature vinous aroma too. Slight tannic chew on the finish. (RH)
