Krug 1996 Level above foil On its 20th birthday (oh, that it was also mine!), still stupendously impressive, a monumental Krug and the last year when Paul Krug was part of the tasting team. I always thought that it might bear a resemblance to the legendary 1928 when it was at a similar age. It has that great tension between ripeness and acidity that is a mark of 1996, plus vinosity and power, icy orange zests and seamless silk. Sleek structure in liquid form. In 2021, obviously more mature, but still icily classic and imposing - authority in the glass.

Krug Collection 1982 Level above foil 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.
