1998 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut

Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 1, 2015 - Somewhat of a disappointment when revealed. Sure this is good, and it gets a lot better after 2 hours in the glass but at first there is mainly just a lot of wood. Somwwhat developed nose of oak, raw wood, coffee, apples, orange peel, nuts, yeast, and canned corn. High acidity, very dry with a medium body, medium+ intensity and a long finish. But to be honest I wrote, "slightly tired" in my notes. Not sure if it was the very high acidity and the dryness that fooled me.

Scored it 88P blind, don't feel comfortable with official scores on Champagne anymore so I will abstain from that!
