Description

PROPERTY FROM A LEGACY CELLAR FROM A LIFELONG CONNOISSEUR

Krug 1988


Slightly scuffed labels and capsules

From the start, this was the structured 'keeper', with its very low yield and high acidity, and they made the right decision in launching the 1989 before it. 50% Pinot Noir, 32% Chardonnay, 18% Pinot Meunier and 21 crus. In 2016, that orange zest Krug nose, followed by a taste of walnuts and mint, round and still very youthful. Extraordinarily complete now. Superb with a risotto that had a twist of orange in it. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
