  Wine Workshop: Clos du Mesnil vertical (Atera - 77 Worth Street in NYC): Enter the rockstar. I mean we knew it would be and unlike with the '96 where I thought the hype was maybe a bit overdone this lived up to all that I was hoping for and more. It's a unicorn wine. Truly beautiful. All fresh and minerals and apples and evolving in the glass and maybe a hint of honey or caramel and then maybe a little touch of the herbs. Pure class. Special for sure.

  Krug Clos du Mesnil – Complete Vertical 1979-2006 tasted blind (Singapore): The last flight was blessed with several “as good as it gets” bottles. Arresting nose with complex aromas of tangerine, caramel, dried raisins. Despite its age, the palate is fresh with bright acidity. Endless finish. Simply stunning and the group’s favorite on this flight.

  Fantastic. As good as mature Mesnil gets. Complex yet with a light touch. Still plenty of energy here.

  Complete Vertical tasting of Clos du Mesnil en Magnum with Olivier Krug (Berens am Kai 1 star Restaurant): Complete Clos du Mesnil Magnum tasting, all bottles opened 3 Hours before, not blind
  The legend delivered again perfectly. Still fresh with bubbles, showing softly light aging signs but lemon dominated. All guests guessed in the nineties. Such a beauty but 1981 was the winner in this flight. Maybe the most elegant wine of the night. 99

  Greg. Finer, more elegant and balanced than straight vintage from aromas to palate. The operative word is precision.
