Not as flabby as most 06s and still showing good freshness, but I found the white chocolate notes the vintage imparts a bit offputting for my palate. A strong effort for the vintage but not worth the $$s for me

(48% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 17% Pinot Meunier) Mittleres Gelb, intensive Perlage. Intensive Nase, vom Holz geprägt, krautig, Kohl, Honig, Caramel, Funky Noten, entwickelt sich im . Im Gaumen feingliedrig, trotz Druck sehr elegant, sehr feine Perlage, der Wein hat eine sehr feine Säure, wirkt harmonisch, zieht sich lange hinaus. Top balanciert, frisch und mit delikatem, feinwürzigem Finish. Top aktuell, mit guten Reserven.

2nd of 6. About 2 years since my last bottle. This was spectacular. A very well balanced wine that developed nicely throughout dinner. A rounder Krug compared to 02 and 08. Those vintages still have too much energy and need time. This is in or near its prime and should drink nicely for a few decades. The finish on this lasted for minutes. This paired very well with caviar and pompano. Revisit 2026

Stellar. Enjoyed at Benu in the most delicate champagne coupes I’ve ever used. Bright pineapple and lemon citrus with a round but precise body.
