Krug 1989 (12 BT)

Krug 1989  

Levels above foil, slightly scuffed labels

In 2020, the nose of orange zest and marzipan is still there, with more complexity now and a touch of saltiness. The taste is wonderfully rich and full of apple blossom, so warm and all-embracing. Flavours of mayblossom honey, if the bees could be persuaded to do that, with telltale buttery texture. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
