香檳加天麩羅,一向是我最愛的組合之一。油炸但不油膩的天麩羅,加上酸度十足,清新活潑的香檳,實在令我愛死了。咬一口天麩羅,再喝一口香檳,滿足感十分!

Dom Perignon 2002

今次的香檳是剛面世不久的 Dom Perignon 2002。這支年產量極大的高級香檳,得到不少酒評家的極高評價。英國酒評家 Jancis Robinson 就給予它滿分的 20 分!Jancis 甚至把它和白酒之王 Montrachet 相比!”More like a Montrachet with a bit of carbon dioxide laced into it than a typical champagne…. LVMH at is very best?”

eRobertParker.com 的 Antonio Galloni 也給予它極高的 96 分。

The 2002 Dom Perignon is at first intensely floral, with perfumed jasmine that dominates the bouquet. With time in the glass the wine gains richness as the flavors turn decidedly riper and almost tropical. Ripe apricots, passion fruit and peaches emerge from this flashy, opulent Dom Perignon. The wine’s volume makes it approachable today, but readers in search of more complexity will want to cellar this for at least a few years to allow for some of the baby fat to drop off. Geoffroy describes the vintage as very ripe and adds that some of the Chardonnay showed the ill-effects of the hot growing season in it the somewhat burned, dehydrated fruit that came in that year. This bottle was disgorged in July, 2009. To be released summer 2010. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2032

有這麼高的評價,我自然對它極為期待。香檳先雪凍,並原瓶透氣一小時,才帶去餐廳。一下杯,它已散發出極強烈的香味。香味雖強,但它所散發出的,卻是非常清新的味道。香氣清新而複雜,桃子、杏仁、蜂蜜、花香和多士,香味平衡,沒有過強的單一味道。

由於這香檳還非常新,因此它有很多幼細的氣泡。氣泡雖多,但入口郤非常順滑,沒有 aggressive 的感覺。和香氣一樣,入口味道雖集中和強烈,但感覺一樣清新和輕盈。餘韻長並帶有檸檬皮的味道。

這支 Dom Perignon 2002,即使在今天喝,已經是一支非常好喝的香檳。相信再陳年多一段時間,它必定更加好喝和複雜。

      我未飲過 Dom 2003,但 2003 極為炎熱,葡萄過早成熟,酸度不足,之前喝過 Bollinger 2003 和 Moet 2003 都有太 flat 和酸度不足的問題。相反,2002 是一個極佳的年份,氣候和暖,雨分適量,葡萄能慢慢成熟。因此,我相信 2002 的 Dom 會比 2003 年好很多。大部份的酒評雖然認為 2003 Dom 都不錯,但品質比不上 Dom 2002。
