2008 Dom Perignon Champagne GIft Box $195 bottle
98 points Jeb Dunnuck "This is a legendary Dom that surpasses all the great vintages of Dom I have experience with, including the 1990, 1996, and 2002.”
98+ points Vinous “The 2008 Dom Pérignon is fabulous. Bright, focused and crystalline in its precision. What I admire most about the 2008 is the way it shows all the focus, translucence and energy that is such a signature of the year, and yet it is also remarkably deep and vertical. In other words, the 2008 is a Champagne that plays in three dimensions.” — Antonio Galloni
98 points John Gilman “The 2008 vintage of Dom Pérignon is an absolute classic in the making and this is destined to be one of the great recent years. The wine is pure, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with precise mousse, brisk acids and stunning length and grip on the primary and laser-like finish. Stellar juice.”
98 points James Suckling “The best Dom since 2002. Incredible freshness here. The palate has a very smoothly delivered, berry-pastry thread with light, sweet spices, stone fruit and fine citrus fruit. This really delivers.”
2008 Roederer Cristal Champagne Gift Box $295 bottle
100 points Jeb Dunnuck “The 2008 Cristal is a perfect wine, and Champagne simple does not get any better. This incredible wine offers a beautiful perfume of clean, crisp fruits, layers of complexity in its toasted spice and white flowers, and an utterly seamless, yet powerful style on the palate. This is a rich, decadent expression of Cristal yet it’s still crystalline and elegant, with no sensation of weight, and it just glides over the palate. Haut Couture at its finest and this majestic, profound, legendary Cristal can be drunk anytime over the coming 2-3 decades.”
