Just back from Chanpagne where Mde De Souza informed 88 was the greatest recent vintage in all C. Luckily I had one of these (Krug) beauties in the cave. Deep yellow, ultra fine bulles, nuanced aromas of miel and toast. Soft attack, integrated, acidity still prevalent, secondary flavours of yeast, honeysuckle, white pepper. Long warm after taste. Not a block buster like the Salon 88 but very good indeed.
