25 Course Dinner at Saam (Bazaar) with some Krug, SQN, Leroy and assorted goodies; 6/25/2010-6/27/2010 (SLS Hotel Saam in the Bazaar, Beverly Hills): There was a remarkable difference between this wine and the 95 Krug. First it's 5 years younger but it's much more focused, lean, elegant, not the big 'brut' (ha) that the knock out punch flavors of the Krug are. The flavor profile is a chalky floral lemon but it's still relatively subdued due to its age. There is a little bit of yeast that builds up along the mid palate but it was hard to drink side by side to the Krug as the flavors were overwhelmed. I think it needs a significant amount of time before it comes out of its shell

Uninspired and too sweet, maybe high dosage. Didn't think it lived up to the spin of Rare Wine Co.
