Friday, October 7, 2011 - My first 1998 Krug. The nose had a deep nut and honey smell to it. I am actually relatively surprised how rich, mature and ready to drink this 1998 is. This is one of the only vintage Krug's that has a higher proportion of chard to pinot, however, it still has that heavy and powerful Krug style that reveals good acidity, nuts, honey, bread, lemons and grass. Its hard to tell how much this will improve given how rich and powerful the flavors already are. Maybe my bottle may have been a little more forward than most. Very good Krug, however, not as good as a bottle of 1989 Krug vintage I had a couple years ago.
