Description

Krug Collection 1981

Label slightly scuffed, metal plate slightly corroded, very slightly scuffed foil, Provenance: Sotheby's Hong Kong, March 2019, Tran-scend-ent Wines


Last tasted from magnum. Toasted hazelnuts nose - this has more Chardonnay than Pinot Noir, for the first time ever. Like a glacial, vanilla ice lolly. The bouquet is briary, all honeysuckle and honey. Crisp 'apples in lofts' taste, juicy, complex and many-layered, with a citrus finish. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
