NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée
Community Tasting Note
RedLoverJim Likes this wine:
Monday, November 30, 2020 - NR. This was a bottle recently found tucked away in a liquor store that's very much non-fine wine oriented. From the label style, cork, and known ages of some other NV Champagnes I found with it, it dates from around 1999. While currently it was on its side in a darkish corner at sub 70F conditions, I couldn't guess at storage conditions for the last two decades. Still a little hiss upon opening. Oxidized in nature. It wasn't spoiled at all, but it was over the hill in the same way some women are still sexy in their sixties. Past prime perhaps, but still a lot to offer. Glad I have a second bottle of it.
