10 years after Riesling tasting - 2014 (Restaurant Brunnenstube, Beinstein): Glass: Gabriel Universal Not as fresh and racy as my last bottle, but nevertheless a beautiful Krug! Nose with fine brioche and caramel, deep and dense. On the palate classic fine and long mousseux, nice tension, classic elegance, long! Danke Robert!!!

At Home Dinner. This was a deliciously mature wine with a developed straw colour and a fresh complex nose of white peach, Nashi pear, white cherries, wild strawberries, honey and nougat. The palate is quite rich with fruit and nougat flavours leading into a developed line of caramel and honeyed cashew flavours. There was still plenty of grip and minerality providing great length to this beautiful Champagne.

[Magnum] Brilliant. Superior to a magnum of 2002 a week ago. Completely fresh and bright, wonderful toast. Complete, harmonious, open knit. Delicious, crunchy orchard fruit and citrus spritz.

not blind
Great to drink now. Some exotic fruits. Not for the long aging. Some roasted aromas. Less acidity than usually. 94

Has a few more years at least. Great now, but could unfold a little more
