This is completely in the zone right now. Rich, intense, very Krug. Age has brought out depth. Not sure it's gonna improve much more, but it will probably stay at this plateau for a long time. Score might be conservative.

Tiny bubbles. Youthful nose of citrus fruit, yellow and green apple. Tense and extremely mineral on the palate, with lemon, crips yellow and green apple, and barely a hint of secondary notes. Beautiful, balanced and complex. Finish goes on forever. Excellent wine. This confirm my experience that 2004 was a wine lover's vintage.

not blind Not the power and length of the 2002. Typical Krug perfume but this time with less concentration and precision. Some roasted aromas but still very vivid. 94

not blind, at the winery Together with 06 and 11. This is most precise and longest potential aging champagne of this trio. Some beginning nuts aromas, still on the fresh side. Reminds me to 2002 with a bit less complexity. 95-96

The cork was super intense, firework explosion!
The foam was superior, extremely rich, laying on top of the champagne and much bubbles.
Light scent of white flowers, and floral aromas.
Taste is fresh green yummy apples mixed with some light bread, bisquit and citrus.
20 years old but I really tought it was younger. Maybe around 10 years old.
This bottle you can put away for 12 more years and open it up. It needs more storage and better bouquet.
