Krug Lover Dinner with Olivier Krug (Daniel Dal Ban 1876 (Tafelspitz) Düsseldorf): not blind We had 3 different Private Cuvees from the 50 and 60ies. One was tired, was had no bubbles and one was great. This one was with fine bubbles and all the Krug elements you love and expect. Some dried fruits, lemon tarte and oriental spices. 97

not blind from the 60ies. Still bubbles and the full package of a perfect aged Champagne but the freshness is mind blowing. Dried fruits, some almond chocolate, orange tarte. Great 99

not blind, from the 50ies A perfect champagne, fine mousse, powerful but still fresh and energetic. Krug stylistic but not too oxidative, The finish holds on one over one hour. Just wow. 100 The 3rd time a perfect bottle of champagne this day.

BYOK with Olivier Krug at Next (Chicago, IL): Mid to late 1960s release. For me, more interesting than good at this point. Scarcely any effervescence left. Dark colour, closer to a light sherry than champagne, with distinct brownish hues. Almost certainly a wine with incredibly high dosage, as the sweetness is very distinct. Lots of mushroomy notes as well. A pleasure to try.
