Dom P2 and Italians

Dinner at Estro.

2000 Dom Pérignon P2 - this was definitely corked with that wet cardboard smell. The palate was definitely flat, with some acidity mid-palate, but the finish was definitely bitter and short. Some toast on the nose, but really not enjoyable.

Bought from MHD for HKD 3,120.

2008 Di Meo Greco di Tufo Vittorio Riserva - aged for 12 years in the tanks and then another 24 months in the bottle, the nose showed a little bit of exotic spices, definitely flinty, oxidative, and definitely heavily toasted once the wine is in the mouth.

2017 San Valentino Sangiovese di Romagna Superiore Riserva Terra di Covignano - nice nose with some spices and dried herbs, and fragrant eucalyptus.
