Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 1, 2017 - Dinner at Andrew's place: Served non-blind after the Comtes and it's no contest. The Comtes was lovely but this Krug is clearly on another level. A similar colour to the Comtes. A fresher, much younger nose, far less oxidised. Lovely aromas of freshly cut lemon, white florals and chalky minerals. Superb texture. Totally à point. Seemingly a much younger wine than the Comtes. Fresh and refreshing acids. Beautifully balanced. Layers of citric, mineral, honeyed and other flavours. Very detailed. Drinking beautifully but this bottle had many years ahead of it. Perhaps my Champagne of the Year (2016). Nick said that he had to wait 10 years after release for the acids to recede sufficiently to enjoy it.
