Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2003 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 92 Points

    France, Champagne

    Light straw in color. Nose shows caramel, coffee and smoke notes. Nice balance, elegant and long. I am missing a bit the backbone and mid-plate. Overall I expected the 2003 Krug to be heavier / richer. Still a nice wine and still youthful.

    Light straw in color. Nose shows acacia honey, vanilla and caramel pretzels. Still quite youthful. Lots of power and a wonderful balance. Very hedonistic.

  • NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée Flawed

    Bottle deg. around 2004. Nose had quite an oxidative nose. Lots of power but just showing flaws on multiple fronts. This is not a representative bottle

  • 1989 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut Flawed

    France, Champagne

    What a shame. The bottle had a slight cork. Just had the 1989 some time ago and it was a clear 95 point wine. .Despite the imperfection it was still drinkable but just not a representative bottle. Now mature with at least another decade of hedonistic drinking.

  • NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée 95 Points

    France, Champagne

    Old yellow label, deg. late 70s or early 80s. Color was quite mature. Nose was oxidative but showed many flavors ranging from bread to ripe fruit. Still very fresh and balanced. Very rich and powerful. A true beauty and still feels quite youthful. Awesome

    Old gold label, deg. mid 1990s. Dark gold in color. Nose shows oxidative notes, apricot and quench jelly. Lots of power and wonderful balance. This is now fully mature but very pleasant to drink. Great wine
