90 Points
Saturday, May 26, 2012 - Krug Vintage tasting (Stockholm): Appearance: Amber, some deposits, some mousse with good persistence.
Nose: Madeirized, dried fruit, fudge, some yellow fruit and citrus fruit (oranges), nutty (walnuts), rum-soaked raisins, slightly more smokey after some time in the glass.
Palate: Yellow fruit, oranges, some dried fruit, discrete madeirized notes, more sweetish than the other Grande Cuvée, just a hint of bitterness, high acidity, fresh and minerally finish.
Summary: Complex notes, but a little over the hill. Not for further cellaring.
The oldest label design for Grande Cuvée (“yellow”), from the period 1978-1983.
