1995 Krug Champagne Clos du Mesnil
4/30/2019 - Darth Angelus Likes this wine: 98 Points
Stellar. Both on the nose and the palate.
Still a lot of fine bubbles. Outstanding intensity, concentration and length, and yet never feeling ”too heavy”.

2002 Pommery Champagne Cuvée Louise Brut
8/26/2015 - Darth Angelus Likes this wine: 93 Points
Quite young, but I do not find it hard to drink at the present time (I don't generally have a hard time drinking young champagnes with very high acidity, but I don't think this is among the most acidic I can remember drinking).
Smooth, elegant and fairly light-bodied.
Still very pleasant 24h after opening.

NV Jacques Selosse Initial
2/6/2015 - Darth Angelus Likes this wine: 92 Points
Fairly light bodied and elegant. It still seems to be in its youth. The acids make a distinctive impression, but are not unbalanced.
Has a little complexity and some length, but not quite like the greatest champagnes.
Still, quite a good blanc de blancs, if you don't require very full-bodied champagnes.
The style seems a bit special, somehow, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is. My guess would be that it is the Selosse house style. I can't say I have tried champagnes from this house verymuch, but going from what little I have tried from my memory, I think there is a similarity.
