I certainy agree with Robert Whitley (scroll down) that the 1996 Dom Perignon is clearly the best of the three DPs and will probably be regarded one day as one of the greatest Dom Pérignons ever.
But if Mr. Brown is looking to drink his Dom soon, I’d recommend the 1998, the most precocious of the three, lovely and elegant, harmonious and graceful, and drinking beautifully even now.
The full-bodied, ripe 1995 is not at its peak, but certainly more ready to drink than the austere 1996, which really needs another ten years of aging before it starts to show its stuff. The great 1990 Dom Pérignon, by the way, is perfect right now.
