Salon Le Mesnil 1995 1.5L (Scuffed Label)

"This is assertive and grainy in texture, a big-boned Champagne that's powerful and intensely flavored. Biscuit, graphite, honeysuckle, peach and floral notes come together, defined by the firm structure, and last throughout the complex finish. Needs a little more time for the elements to harmonize." - Wine Spectator, WS96, tasted 12/2005
