Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1990 (1 BT)

Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1990

Reverse ullage: 1cm, very slightly scuffed label, in original tissue, packed in individual original wooden case within its original outer carton, Taiwan importer's back label

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

於2011年品嚐，此佳釀跟1990年的Krug有著相近的芳香，香橙及清新香氣，加上合桃及蜜糖氣息，曼妙的清新感受加上一縷西柚味道，奶油般的口感。施慧娜（葡萄酒大師M.W.）

Provenance

Sotheby’s is honored to offer Part II of The Classic Cellar of an Important Asian Collector.

A successful entrepreneur and esteemed wine connoisseur, he is also renowned as a hotel and restaurant operator. His discerning taste shines through in this exceptional collection. 

This remarkable collection features some of the most exquisite Bordeaux Classified Growths and gems from legendary vintages such as Mouton Rothschild 1982, Latour 1982 and Petrus 1989. It also includes distinguished Champagnes from renowned houses such as Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1995 and Krug Clos du Mesnil 1990. Complementing these are wines from the iconic Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, spanning the late 1980s to 1990s.
