January 28, 2024 - Krug Lover Dinner with Olivier Krug (Daniel Dal Ban 1876 (Tafelspitz) Düsseldorf): not blind, from Magnum
Unbelievable fresh, with bubbles, far away from his peak. Bright colour, almost no aging signs. Yuzu, lemon roll some biscuits. 99-100 -

July 6, 2019 - Absolutely fabulous. Bottle number 0493 is no longer but the pleasure drinking it was thrilling.

March 23, 2019 - Perfect gold colour with surprising effervescence and mousse. The nose starts quiet with marzipan and almond nuttiness but expands and spans white flowers, brown sugar, amazing cappuccino cream, and an orange peel spritz and zest. The palate is in a perfect place right now with rich chewable orchard fruit cut with orange citrus and pleasant acid. The real hallmark of excellence here is the developed cream. Think brown sugar and cinnamon spice but while still delivering so much freshness and crispness, not advanced, not unduly heavy. This is reminiscent of the last ‘85 Mesnil I had and definitely crushes the last ‘85 and ‘88 regular Krug cuvée I had. Near perfect champagne drinking right now. Bottle no° 3928 goes down in spectacular fashion.
