Sunday, February 3, 2019 - 2nd Annual Sommelier Appreciation Dinner (Undisclosed Location): This was a surprise to me (can't really recall anyone marveling at 1995 vintage Champagne), but maybe it shouldn't have been. This really wasn't all that far behind the stellar '85. Actually smells more butterscotchy and candied than the '85, but it's just as precise to taste. On the front end it has a rich, aged candied sweetness which turns bracing, bright, and lemony on the back end with a finishing wave of chalkiness. From a magnum.
