Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2003 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 95 Points

    Typical Krug perfume, Brioche, roasted hazelnut, creme brulee, vanilla, good acidity, for this hot vintage you can nearly call it elegant, the best 03 I had so far

    Very intensive nose, a lot of acidity, some macadamia nuts, lemon cest, yuzu, salty, sure too young, not so impressive as the previous two ones, razorsharp clean and precise, vanilla, the acidity dominates the fruit, mighty body, at this stage a little bit closed, now 96 but potentail for 100 in 20 years

  • 1996 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut 97 Points

    France, Champagne

    It was opened 20 hours before, still dense and concentrated, alot of razorsharp acidity, salty and citric, pure elegance, not so clear as the 96 Salon one week before, but that was opened and poured directly, potential over the next 20 years, 97-99
