February 16, 2024 - kɹʌɡ wɪθ dʌɡ (Chicago, IL): I shat on this wine hard when it came out (after all, it was released around the same time as the vaunted 164eme, which honestly hasn't turned out to be all that it was cracked up to be), but with the benefit of 7-8 years, this has really blossomed and become a bottle of Krug that is worthy of the florets label. Dense, mineral, and structural, but impeccably balanced between its acidity and concentration. Toasty, biscuity, and unmistakably Krug. Wow.

January 2, 2024 - This was as good as I had hoped!
Incredible nose of nuts, melted butter, ripe and fresh apples, stone fruit, chalky, brioche.. Just pure joy.
The palate was just as mezmerising with incredible length, complexity and mouthfeel. Super rich.
Open the bottle one hour prior to serving. I sensed that the fruit came out a bit more after some air which really made this wine even more sexy.
