N.V. Champagne Le Mesnil Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs Brut
89 points
This opened up with time. Stylistically, it is clearly a Blanc de Blanc. It has good body, oak, spice.

This was one of the surprises of he tasting. I believe this drinks considerably better than it's paygrade. Rich and yeasty. This is quite powerful.

N.V. Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée
92 points
Drank a small pour at a tasting. As good as this was, previous bottles have been better. Impressive in its strength, but less finesse than other champagnes at the tasting.

2002 Lanson Champagne Gold Label Brut

Drank a small pour at a tasting, and I continue to be impressed with this producer. Good balance. Slightly oxidized, which seems consistent with this producer, and adds interest.

2004 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année Rosé
93 points
Drank a small pour at a tasting. This bottle met my expectation. This seems to have the whole package, nice fruit, deep and rich, with acidity and citrus.

1996 Nicolas Feuillatte Champagne Brut Cuvée Palmes d'Or
89 points
Drank a very small pour at a tasting. I wouldn't kick this out of bed, but I expected better. Oxidized maybe a little too much. Also it fell a bit flat on the palate. This was a good champagne, but it did not meet my expectation.
