  开头有奶油包裹着的矿物感，些许焦糖苹果、蜜饯橘子皮、桃杏、黄油饼干、青苹果等，整体比较规整平静，后段带着花香。入口平和，气泡感还是不错，酸度高，有着不错的集中度，慢慢在口中变得宽广，就是略平了些。苹果脯、柠檬挞和焦糖苹果之类的果味显得工整流畅，后段有些许矿物和石灰感，收尾稍显短促。92/100

  Krug Lunch (7x GC, 7x Vintage, 3x CdM, 1x CdA): Seven Grand Cuvees: 157, 163, 164, 167, 168, 169 and 170th. No surprise that the better base vintages showed best. The 157th (95 pts) showed most round and complete due to the extended age. The 164 (95 pts), 168 and 169th (both 94+ pts) all show good substance and superb acidic spine for graceful ageing. The 164th, from magnum, has an elegance to it which is above all others. The 170th (90pts), 167th (92 pts) and 163th (93+ pts) seem a bit leaner compared to the others and not all of them will be very long-lived iterations. But this tasting showed clearly, that even the lesser vintages of Grand Cuvees easily need minimum 10 years after disgorgement to start to truly shine.
  
  TN: This drinks very well today, well-rounded and with intricate toasty, nutty and bakery aromas but still with superb citrus freshness and a fresh fruit core as well as a balancing mineral backbone. Expressive from the first sniff towards the long finish. Good mid palate weight and very harmonious with fine mousse but good tension. The complete package and certainly an iteration that will continue to gracefully age for another decade or two, or three.

  Krug Grande Cuvee "Vertical" (Farr Vintners London): Straw to honey colour. On the nose flinty. On the palate quite dry (came across as lowest dosage in the line-up but likely due to ageing), chalky, green and red apples, less generous then other Grande Cuvees. Did get better with air. 71 pct from the 2001 vintage. 92 points and not sure this will get better - I would drink up.
