    March 22, 2024 - Made from 46 % pinot noir, 29 % chardonnay and 25 % meunier. Very deep bouquet. Subdued intensity. Full of preserved quince and yellow apples and very autolytic. Beautiful acidity, great balance, depth and density. Above it all, the preserved fruits and hints of white pepper, yeasty bread and marzipan. Lengthy finish. Sweet spot right now but can still be stored.

    March 20, 2024 - Wine is drinking incredibly. Wanting to add much more to the cellar.

    February 19, 2024 - Monday hangout at Domaine (Chicago, IL): The best showing yet of this for me. It's certainly big and toasty, but there is lots of classic Krug power and richness here, and this certainly hearkens back to the weight and density of the Krug of yore. Really goes to show how time does wonders for Krug, and while I had doubts about this vintage originally, I have very much come around to it. Impressive.

    December 22, 2023 - Great nose here. Bruised apples, sweet spices, yeast, yellow fruit. Generous and fresh palate at the same time. Really a top showing how a large house style should look like after 20 years. 96+
