blind, base 1996 Complexity in perfection without being too technical or exhausting. At his peak. As a soloist or with with food. At his peak. Bubbles, creamieness and freshness. 97-98

en demi-bouteille - a previous bottle from the same lot was almost flat, so I wasn't surprised to find very few bubbles here. Lots of orange marmalade, very savory now like Chinese preserved plum, which was as I would expect. Still got the acidity on the finish, so that was nice.

This was absolutely gorgeous. I was told this was comprised of various early-mid 1980s vintages. I think this is the correct CT listing. But just beautiful bottle of Krug Cuvee with 30-ish years on it.

from half bottle. very caramelized nose, with honey and Chinese salted plum on the nose. Good acidity and minerality on the palate, and very big on the palate. Later on we got marmalade, cotton candy, and Chinese licorice on the nose.

from half bottle. condition of the bottle was a little disappointing, as there were very few bubbles left and I certainly did not hear any sound of gas escaping when the cork was popped. This ended up being almost like an aged still wine, with around 20 years or so of age. Lots of savory flavors which reminded me of Chinese salted plum, marmalade, and almost a hint of Chinese preserved lemon.
