N.V. Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvee Edition 169eme France, Champagne
92 points
Pale gold with fine beads. Zingy acidity and minerality, and with a white floral freshness, as.well as underripe green apples and white peach, then the bready and nutty flavours which still seems to need a little more time to integrate

Medium yellow, and golden hued, and starbright. Classic flinty nose with grapefruit, guava, and peach. Bright acids, and a good intense feel of peach, guava, hay, and brine. Fairly lengthy, and complex. Nice!

Pale garnet with significant browning on edges. Uber deep floral nose with some dried cranberry and forest floor, as well as a hint of coffee and caramel. Acids still exuding freshness, whilst tannins resolved, of airy lightness yet a great intensity and complexity, of dried cranberry and red cherry, candied dried tomato, forest floor, potpourri, slight barnyard. The finish is minute-long, and so uber complex. This bottle is what I'd call madness! Made me a happy man

2019 Château Mouton Rothschild France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

Deep purple and homogenous. Very deep floral potpourri aromas, then some ripe blackberry and cassis, as well as mint, then cloves and cinnamon. Somewhat ripe and sweetish, even Port-like, but definitely having the bright acids to keep the freshness. Too young, but definitely full of potential for enjoyment in about 15-20 years

Deep garnet. Very characteristic fresh greens and blackberry, and pepper and paprika, took a little time before ot opens up with lush fruits, fern, and pepper. Pretty lengthy, and complex

Deep garnet. A big blast of BBQ smoke upon the first nose and first sip, which later mellows down to ripe blackberry and cranberry fruits, then fern and cloves. Medium on finish
