It's a bit of a tradition that we cook 'gourmet' Bangers 'n Mash for our friends a couple of times a year. This was a good excuse to open the first bottle from 3 different cases of wine I've been holding in the cellar for a long time.
I know that our friends love this so I opened a bottle for them and in the hope that one day I will 'get' Krug. Not today.....
The 'weight' that the Kistler has put on with age was a nice counterpoint to the freshness and acidity of the salad.
Fab evening.....will I ever 'get' Krug and will the 1995 Bordeaux ever break out of its crysalis?
NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée 88 Points
France, Champagne
(ID 120001, which is a 2012 disgorgement with a 2005 base). Completely unmemorable......nothing particularly wrong...except it was overly acidic ...but nothing attention-grabbing. This puts me back to an earlier conclusion that, for me, it is a waste of time to drink this without food. Maybe I should have decanted it, but that seems kinda weird to do for a dinner party.
