March 23, 2024 - Frankly the label here is enough to kickstart a pretty evening and from then on the rest follows very well. Very elegant of course, young but still ready to sing and dance with a willing partner. We have had this a few times so far and has not failed us once. 93

March 7, 2024 - 320021. From half-bottle. A bit less well put-together than some of my previous experiences. Feels a little disjoint, and even air didn't help that much on that front. To be fair, Krug is Krug, but I think I just expected a little more from this tonight.

February 16, 2024 - kɹʌɡ wɪθ dʌɡ (Chicago, IL): I've drank a fair number of these in quarter-magnum, but haven't had a half in a long while. The smaller format has showed very well, and is amply enjoyable with a few hours of air. In fifth, this is a bit simple and shows a distinctly white-grape character that is often present in very young Krug. But given how nicely this shows right now in the "fun" size, I'm pretty optimistic about this filling out with a few more years.

January 31, 2024 - 320021. From half-bottle. Better with air, and consistent with previous bottles. Very much a weightier iteration of modern Grande Cuvee; I'm a fan of this edition. Nevertheless, this should get a bit of air before consumption -- it really brings out the weight.

January 26, 2024 - Light yellow color with tiny bubbles. Very tight initially. Crisp lemon, green apple, very mineral on the palate. Long finish. This is great but has a long life ahead.
