50th Birthday Bash: Wonderfully aged vintage brut. Full bodied, slightly oxidized due to age, and a fine long finish. Drink up. Probably won't get much better with age.

Could be nearing the end, tasting a bit like apple juice.

Krug Lover Dinner with Olivier Krug (Daniel Dal Ban 1876 (Tafelspitz) Düsseldorf): not blind
Didn't have it for a long time. Better than expected. 1995 is not my favourite vintage at Krug. Close to his peak. Saline, lush and balanced. 95
