Robert Parker (96)

The 2002 Dom Pérignon P2 is still a youthful wine, but it is beginning to develop appreciable complexity, wafting from the glass with notes of of iodine, warm bread, ripe orchard fruit, peach, citrus oil, smoke and peat, which in Geoffroy's words "are on the verge of aromatic over-ripeness." On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, broad and fleshy, with a textural, voluminous profile, pinpoint bubbles and a chalky, phenolic finish. This is a ripe and powerful Dom Pérignon that finds its closest stylistic analogy in the 1990 vintage, and it is considerably less evolved than the more tertiary 2000 P2 today. While the P2 is a bit drier and more precise on the finish than the original release, given the wine's slow evolution the difference between the two is less pronounced than it has been for any vintage since 1996.

Winespectator (98)

Fantastic complexity and subtlety with light bread dough, lemon rind, spiced pear, aniseed and licorice on the nose. Full-bodied. Dense and silky textured. Ultra-fine bubbles. Flavorful and smooth finish. Drink and enjoy this late release.

BOW (8.75)

Falstaff (100)

Unusual floral bouquet, white flowers, cowslip, with subtle hints of lime and grapefruit zest, green apple, nutty aromas, followed by the aromas of maturity: figs, nougat, a little mocha. Complex on the palate, yet juicy, yellow plum fruit, a hint of hazelnut, subtle extract sweetness, vibrant acidity, powerful minerality on the finish.
