Daniel Dal Ban 1876 (Tafelspitz) Düsseldorf
Tasted Sunday, January 28, 2024 by aquacongas with 193 views
Put together 12 Krug geeks and Olivier Krug. All bottles were from pristine conditions and cellars
Great Start, many gussed older and vintage. One of my favourite editions with 164.
The flight should be 1989 vs 1990 but some brought CdM 2000 instead of Collection 89, so I had to change the flights. CdM 2000 is by far the best from this vinatge
Both were the best 89's I had so far. CdM at his peak. Most preferred the CdM. Olivier guessed the vintages right.
Without bubbles but a great still wine. Refeshig acidity
The flight of the evening. Especially for Olivier Krug and me. No existing Magnums from the first generation.
Beautifully fresh
At his peak
The best vintage from Krug since 1988 and 1979
Too young
Wow, still time to drink it
A brutally perfect aged Collection
Not my favourite vinatge but nice to drink now
Both Bottles in pristine condition
Some bottles too close the perfect evening
One of my Top 3 tastings ever. All bottles but one were singing in a perfect way. Krug is dri kable in young stages but for the full experience you profit from 30-40 years of aging. Olivier told me that he had never the both Grande Cuvees from Magnum together. For me the highlights together with the perfect CdM 1988. The most exciting bottles you can get from champagne are old grande cuvees. I would prefer it to all other Krugs or other champagnes.
NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvee Edition 169eme 96 Points
France, Champagne
not blind
Many of the guests could not guess Grande cuvee and guessed older. For me very fresh with some beginning roasted aromas. Great to drink at this stage but I would prefer it from regular bottle at the moment. 96
