Closure: Cork

A master piece of wine making. Deep golden straw colour. Very fine bead with excellent persistence. The nose is superb, with layers of complexity that whilst identifiable also form a new harmonious note which is unmistakably Krug. Intense aroma of biscuit, vegemite, yeast autolysis, biscuit, nougat and cashews. Totally mouthfilling – totally harmonious juxtaposition of concentration of flavour and acid balance. Flavour of biscuit, roast almonds, nougat, and cashew are counterbalanced by a degree of acidity that exerts its presence and will ensure a long bottle life, yet is by no means overwhelming. Cellar 15-20 years, or if you must drink an old bottle the next 3-4 years.

RATING: 99/100

VALUE: XXXXX/5
