3/16/2024 - DCHawkeye Likes this wine: 96 pointsPopped to start the festivities for a milestone birthday dinner at the Inn at Little Washington, this bottle predates the current Edition numbering so it obviously included some older vintages. This was drinking beautifully, with a delicate bead and excellent acidity, great depth and complexity, tho not as "yeasty" as I usually think of with Krug. A perfect way to start.

2/26/2024 - NoahCap wrote: NRWhoa- don't buy this expecting a typical California Zin full of black fruits and jam. The 13.5%ABV led me to expect a lighter experience than usual, but I was still surprised pouring this pale translucent ruby wine into the glass. This is Zinfandel?! The aromas are wonderful, though wholly atypical of California Zin: juicy raspberry and cherry, blood orange, Concord grapes, cinnamon and nutmeg. In the mouth: medium acidity, fine tannins, a lushness of body that is just downright suave. Red fruits complimented by a brambly spiciness that works so well together. A decently long finish with some complexity- impressive for such a young wine. What a nice wine; I want more.

9/18/2023 - JJYoyo Likes this wine: 94 pointsTwo years or so after last tasting and the pithy smoky toasted pumpkin seed flavor is still there. This is definitely mature now, and although I love it as much as ever I don’t think there is any point in trying to keep it longer. Still a few years left before decline but drink up. I have a bottle left and then plan to move onto the 2021s.

6/9/2023 - BellevuePhil Likes this wine: 94 pointsPOP AND POUR NOW.....3 minutes of funk and then she opens up like my Indian on a lonely highway. I am in love. I recently had the pleasure of indulging in the divine experience of savoring my first bottle of this epic wine. An off gift from a friend, the 1990 Heitz Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon. This remarkable vintage not only transported me to the realms of luxury but also struck a harmonious chord with my musical sensibilities and as an alpha, reminded me of a Egyptian princess I once summered with in southern France.

6/17/2023 - Thomas123 wrote: 97 pointsI was always a bit sceptical about this wine, feeling it over-hyped. But I have to say, that in this vintage it really hits the spot. Strawberry on the nose, Suoer elegant, not to distinguish from a very good burgundy. On the palate nice, soft tannins, but still grippy. Clearly still fruit driven, not tertiary yet. But very complex. And the length is super impressive.

4/25/2023 - MC2 Wines Likes this wine: NRBienvenue a Champagne; 4/20/2023-4/29/2023 (Les Crayeres, various restaurants, Les Avises and a many wonderful producers): There are many opinions on this wine and it’s not easy because it is one of ‘the producers’ and probably this was ‘the’ year and if by chance you have some other top end cuvées from top producers from the year it’s almost like they are fully transparent and so you know what they can be. This wine is not like that. It’s maybe slightly more open and expressive than the last few times but every time I have it I think the wine is quieter than some others. This paired incredibly well and my most favorite version of it was with a bit of a lemon appetizer devised in the Krug food series. Pulled out the Chard style. Reminded me of the finesse of the Clos du Mesnil from this year. Just maybe a hint of what it will be. We have bought a decent amount and I look forward to drinking them one day but I am surprised at how shy this wine is. Most days I feel like I have knocked at a door that was never answered. Today I feel like someone peeked a tiny head out and then back. Perhaps in 30 years we will actually meet. I’m happy to wait.

11/24/2022 - shifter Likes this wine: flawedPnP small glass, recork into the fridge. First glass reveals just a hint of lemon zest, marzipan, honey. So weightless with a beguiling depth. Palate is much more open than previous bottles at this stage, but still very tight and only showing a fraction of the potential. So very tart, the acid overwhelms the finish.

11/4/2022 - Quinn05 Likes this wine: 95 pointsChampagne Tasting (Restaurant Valuas, Venlo): Very reductive at first. Flintstone is all I could smell. Then it opens up relatively nice but still remains quite tight and austere. If drinking now give it plenty of time. WOTN, but I think that's only because the Agrapart beside it shut down completely after a few minutes and did not open back up.

9/3/2022 - Michael Hung Likes this wine: 92 pointsThe Grill Dinner: Initially, lots of oak and minerality along with lean stone fruit and orchard fruit. Oak was a bit of a mess until 30 minutes in, reintegrating into a beautiful GG with ripe green fruits and lean peach, backing of vanilla and cedar. Slightly rounder than what I was expecting, the wine still showed good precision and restraint. An ever so tinge of that Riesling sweetness on the long finish. Could use slightly more acid, but still enjoyable. I'm not sure how this will age, but probably a GG for earlier drinking considering the vintage as well.

I’m so far behind drinking my Monte Bello that this is the earliest vintage (age-wise) I’ve had. With a couple hour decent you could do this but I’d wait if you can.
