Saturday, December 5, 2015 - A complete vertical tating of Clos du Mesnil. Richard Juhlin joined as special guest. 16 participants. It was not a blind tasting, starting 2003 and ending up with 1979. My rating average was the second highest followed by RJ.
The overall Top 5: 1979, 1981, 1988, 1982, 1996 (1981 was rated 7 times at 1st place, 1979 only 3 times)
My Top 5: 1988, 1979, 1996, 1985 and 1981
Nuts, toast, brioche in the nose, roasted walnuts and marzipan in the palate, ripe fruits with a firm fresh acidity, top structure, there is some potential 96-97
