Before dinner starts, though, a breathtaking array of Champagnes greets guests as they enter the Test Kitchen, one of the most intimate spaces in New York, I am drawn to Krug’s 1996 Clos du Mesnil, which is one of the greatest Champagnes I have ever tasted. It is utterly magnificent, as always. The hustle and bustle of New York City below starts to fade. Score: 100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com 01 December 2015 |

The 1996 Clos du Mesnil is every bit as stratospheric as it has always been. An iconic, epic Champagne of the highest level, the 1996 Clos du Mesnil captivates all the senses with its breathtaking precision and crystalline purity. The flavors are bright, sculpted and intensely mineral driven to the core. There isn't too much to add. Put simply, the 1996 Clos du Mesnil is one of the greatest and most moving Champagnes I have ever had the privilege to taste and drink.

Offers fine depth and complexity, showing aromas of coffee, mushroom and candied citrus. This is laserlike on the palate, focusing its citrus, honey and mineral flavors and corralling them to a long finish. Still a baby, with great length and potential. Best from 2010 through 2030.
