Masterpiece. Drank at Kenzo in Napa. Was better than the bottle I had about 6 months ago at Aurus at Four Seasons which was good but a tad tired.
This bottle was drinking at peak peak. Amazing acidity like only Krug offers. Can go for years longer but unlikely to improve. No worries as was simply awesome! Hard to say what this will be like in a few years, my guess won't get better.
How do you put points on a Picasso? You get my drift. Can't. Just pull the cork and let it speak to you.
Spellbinding wine in every wine. Great balance and complexity. Mature but still very fresh and alive. Carbonation starting to fade but still there. Hence, I'd say drink up now and you'll be happy! ! !

Excellent bottle of this showing a fully mature flavor profile but with plenty of richness and acidity in the style of the vintage. Really complex and satisfying on the finish with notes of clove spice, caramel and minerals. Plenty of vigor and plenty of life left in this gorgeous vintage of Krug.

Some nice Burgundies (Chicago, IL): Been quite a long while since I had this last. For my palate, this is starting to get long in the tooth. The old-school Krug weight is here for sure, but there are lots of browning notes to the fruit here. Plenty of acidity to cut the richness on the palate, but also a bit of nuttiness from the age.
