The 2000 Dom Pérignon Rosé P2 is even better than the last time I tasted it. This is an espeically fine bottle. Rich, plush and enveloping, the 2000 is a magnificent Rosé from the Richard Geoffroy era. Kirsch, blood orange, spice and rose petal race across the palate. I especially admire the wine's breadth and vinous intensity, signatures of the house style at the time. Magnificent.

24 years after harvest, this P2 Rosé 2000 is an aromatic treat, heavily Pinot Noir-dominant for this cuvée (at 70%, including a beefy 20% red wine addition) and accordingly tinted, with notes of jellied plum and poached strawberry. The overall impression is, however, surprisingly reserved, with delicate woody tones alongside cooked cream and oyster-shell brightness all emerging from a settled, smoothed out and calm palate of moderate intensity and energy. It’s an autumnal rosé of real interest and subtlety.

The 2000 Dom Pérignon Rosé P2 is a sapid, gastronomic wine, unfurling in the glass with attractive aromas of iodine, blood orange, dried white flowers and oyster shell. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, ample and elegantly textural, with a rich and open-knit core of distinctly savory fruit, a fine but youthfully boisterous mousse and a long, saline finish. This almost Burgundian-styled rosé is fully mature and drinking very well today, and I would be inclined to open bottles over the coming decade.
