Salon Le Mesnil--Vintage 1990
In original wooden, three-magnum cases
Tasting note: Two notes: pale, lively; somewhat idiosyncratic nose, straw and old mushrooms, good though (June 2001). Next, served the first evening prior to Wilf Jaeger's unprecedented rare Burgundy dinner: pale, good colour for age, sauntering bubbles; light, fragrant. Characteristic fresh walnuts bouquet; subtle, perfect yet understated. Elegant. Great finesse. Last tasted in San Francisco, March 2002 ***** M.B.
