FIZZ FEST - GREAT Champagne - 2000 Dom Perignon RP94 - The 2000 Brut Dom Perignon is a gorgeous, seductive wine that floats on the palate with remarkable grace. Toasty aromas meld into freshly cut flowers, apricots and pears, with sweet notes of mint and licorice that linger on the long finish. This perfumed, inviting Dom Perignon is elegance personified, and in this vintage the wine fully merits its lofty reputation. According to winemaker Vincent Chaperone there is only one disgorgement date for the first release of Dom Perignon, and the 2000 was disgorged over a period of weeks in March and April, 2007, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018

Y2K CULLEN-NADO - Last of the Cullen premium Cabernet Merlots -2001 was first Dianna Madeline in 2001 - JH95 One of Australias true benchmark wines, broodingly powerful in its youth, but slowly unfolding with age.

Great blood lines.
