A medium-deep golden color, with notes of lemon curd, roasted nuts, yeasty bread, crushed stones, and hints of praline. Medium to full bodied, quite rich, a round and creamy texture, but with excellent acidity that nicely frames the long finish.

Last bottle out of 4. 1998 is a softer vintage and this one is now fully mature. The nose is typical KRUG and bursts of toasted brioche and rye bread. Better acidity than I remembered from the last bottle it is a joy to drink at the moment.

Frantzén. Ett vin som är i perfekt balans nu, med bra frukt och syra kombinerat med sköna mognadstoner.

Some Wine Tasted at the Acker La Paulée Auction (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Tasted at auction. Magnum. Lots of fresh and mature apple with excellent volume and length. Even better than another magnum from a few nights ago.

Acker "Paulee" Burgundy Dinner (Capital Seafood - Beverly Hills CA): Paulee style dinner. Magnum. Very rich, slightly more bready than I recall from previous bottles, but with the underlying structure to keep everything in harmony. Very complex with very good depth.
