Ok— It’s like this:
The 96 KCM is better with beluga, as its cut is a touch sharper.
And the 96 KV is the toasted nut/richness champ of the bunch... so, along with being most affordable, it’s a great aperitif and the best of these with chocolate/dessert.
But the 96S, under 8 bills per unit, is the star, IMO.
It’s the most difficult of these Champs to find fresh, however, and I might switch the 1996 Salon to “magnum only” status shortly. I admit that the Krug Mesnil’s price is distracting.
