February 23, 2015 - Found a very local source for these, at pretty good pricing, so I thought I'd go ahead and crack another of the older batch I had left…..06 disgorgement from 2000 base…….this bottle seems fresher than the last 2…..golden yellow pitted fruit, crisp apple……fresh squeezed lemon, ginger, little grapefruit tang……but plenty of classic Krug fresh oxidativeness that integrates perfectly! Hazelnut butter, ginger ale, crushed minerals….tiny intense popping bubbles, creamy airy mousse…..tasty on a early Monday eve!

2/24/15, 7:51 AM - Deciphering the code on this cork, V651:
v identifies the cork producer
6 is the last number of the year it was disgorged
5 is the month (grouped by two months at a time; see below) that the bottle was disgorged (approximately)
1 identifies the batch of the cork related to the producer identified by v
The months are grouped and identified as follows:
1 = January/February
2 = March/April
3 = May/June
4 = July/August
5 = September/October
6 = November/December -
