(161 Edition) Woah this is fantastic. Super autolytic, oxidative, and toasty nose. Aromas of dark salted caramel, brown butter, toasted caraway, rye bread.
Palate is gentle and soft/round. Creamy mouthfeel and gentle effervescence. It’s super broad on the palate and it grows and grows. Massive finish and fantastic complexity.

MAGNUM Vintage Port (CUT restaurant Beverly Hills): Out of Jeroboam as a start to a wonderful journey during Vintage port out of Magnums. Wonderful color, nose and breath. On the palate, tingling and lasting finish. While I am not a Krug fan this aged btl suited me quite alright.

kɹʌɡ wɪθ dʌɡ (Chicago, IL): Honestly, given its age, I had really high expectations for this so I was pretty disappointed in how it was showing. That said, Krug is Krug and in general, that's a very, very high watermark. But this bottle failed to impress. It was soft and in some sense a bit shapeless. Gentle fruit, but maybe more subtle and less cut and weight than I want in Krug. More on the white side as far as fruit profile goes, and slightly amorphous. All that said, it still tastes like Krug, and pretty delicious.

Salon Ficofi Paris walkabout tasting and dinner, no detailed tasting notes. From Jero. Based on the 2005 vintage, this showed really well from Jero. Generous, great pinot spice, long and fresh finish. 96+

Classic Krug. Rich, of course, but with toast and grip and depth.
