Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Monday, November 20, 2017 - Long birthday lunch at Noble Rot (Noble Rot, Wellington, NZ): Deeper colour than for the MV. Served blind you could sense the age here. Most tasters picked in the 1990s but I guessed the Champagne as a 1988. Once revealed, you could easily see the family resemblance with the MV. A fresh bouquet of tangerines, spices, peaches and nut oil with a creamy or lactic element - a little Brie de Meaux-like. In the mouth, superb fresh acidity. 'The sweet fruit has largely gone but not the acidity', said Cathy. Grapefruit, burnt toffee, dry brushwood, Turkish delight, soil and clotted cream on apricot pie. Detailed and layered. A superb vintage Krug. For me, now in its prime drinking window.
