Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1990 (1 BT)

Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1990

Excellent level, good appearance, tissue wrapped

In 2011, the bouquet of this and the 1990 Krug are, amazingly, becoming more similar. Mandarins and fresh linen on the nose. Then a touch of walnuts and honey. Fabulous freshness on the palate with a smidgen of grapefruit. Very creamy. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
