I think the bottle had some time to breathe before drinking it, but this feels like this is in a great spot already. The brioche notes particularly stood out for me but really quite open at this point and delicious (but that should hardly be a surprise).

When any evening presents a second apertif, and it is a Dom.. its gonna be a good.. good night!
Served unblinded, when this came after the Comtes 2006 which was bloody exceptional, I found the nose of this DP 2008 to be muted. Very muted in fact.
Interestingly this did not translate to the precise and full bodied palate, with developing light brioche notes as well. Even at this very early age, this Dom shows a good length to the finish and well developed M+ acidity.
Blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay grape varietals, and whilst still too young, it showcases depth as well as great balance.
This vintage marks the first time the estate has released a wine out of order (the 2009 was released before the 2008). Seems DP loved the wine so much they felt it warranted additional aging.
This is a very iconic cuvee for many reasons, besides its age-worthiness.
It is described as the mark Of a new era...
Richard Geoffrey was behind the creative ambitions of Dom Perignon for over 28 years. He shaped the Dom Perignon project in his style and was the driving force.
Vincent Chaperon worked alongside Geoffrey for 13 years. During this time, he took part in 13 harvests and declared four vintages.
This 2008 Dom Perignon vintage was the best way for Geoffrey to end his career as Chef de Cave, and for Chaperon to start his.
Thanks to bro RN for sharing this at his Bref TTDI get-together as a thanksgiving dinner and celebrating his birthday too.
With this 2008, I have now covered the 2006, 2010 as well as 2012 DP vintages. Somehow the 2006 and 2010, perhaps as they were off-vintages, fared the best for me and were the most open Doms!

Developing well but short of the defining Dom Pérignon character. Even fairly simple at this stage. Youthfully energetic. Surprisingly large bubbles and short lived foam. Give Dom Pérignon from a great vintage at least 20 years to see what it has.

Wonderful 2008, second time having it and it is now in a very good drinking spot, having moderated the excess acidity of its youth. Will keep getting better for 10-15+ years would be my guess
