Krug Collection 1982
BT #0795, ex Sotheby's New York, Krug Auction, December 2012
27 different growths. Pinot Noir 54%, Pinot Meunier 16%, Chardonnay 30%. Amazing warm, spicy nose. Cinnamon French toast. And this continues on the palate - like breakfast in New Orleans! In 2011, an almost 'wild' nose, hawthorn and honey, vanilla and violets, orange and oregano. Then crushed hazelnuts. Candied lemon on the palate, again with buttered toast on the lingering aftertaste. Fizzing with ginger and allspice. So winey. Tasted again in New York in 2015 and disgorged in 2014. I fell deeply in love with this. Simply put, it is fabulous. So crystal clear and pure, precise and fresh, a Champagne of icy splendour. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
