As every year Achim's Magnum Tasting at Berens am Kai.
This time 14 people at 14.12.2018 met ad 14:12.
All the wines were great, interesting flights, only two corked bottles. Great food, nice friends and a perfect service as always. Thanks Achim for organisation and Tobi for helping out with a great bottle.
Krug at his best and the 2000 at his peak
The Idig one of the best Idig's I had. Pale yellow, nicely riped still citrus dominated. 96-97
I was suprised fromthis vintage
For many drinkers a 200 point flight
The fllight of the evening for me
Lafleur corked, 86 DMG
Both not in perfect shape
My WOTN Jacques Perrin
Both too young but in a fun stage
My top 5
Beaucastel 07 Hommage Jacques Perrin
Margaux 83
Heitz Martha 78
LMHB 1971
Palmer 83
The Jacques Perrin was the most emotional bottle of the evening for me. A perfect wine.The 83s coming close to their peak, suprised from 71 LMHB. 78 Martha not really worse than 74. The 2000's are ages to young but very accessible. Hopefully next year again
NV Pierre Morlet Champagne Premier Cru Grand Reserve 91 Points
France, Champagne
(12/24/2018)
From magnum, blind
Never heard and drank before. A little bit harsh and rustic, PN and PM dominated in nose and palate. Missing the balance from mid to late palate. Bread crust, red apple and citrus. 90-91

2000 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 95 Points
France, Champagne
(12/24/2018)
From magnum, not blind
The nose and palate refelects the typical Krug perfume. Fresh baken bread crust, roasted hazelnuts, lime. Everything in shape and balance. The best 2000 Krug I had so far. Reaching his peak. Crazy acidity for the vintage. 95-96
