This is an absolutely lovely Champagne!
I've always loved Krug and believe it's the best MV Champagne out there.
I wish I could drink this more often, but it's nice to pop a bottle for special occasions.
This was the oldest MV Krug I've had and it's great to see what age does to this. Base is 2009 and this still drinks very young.
Brought this to SingleThread to celebrate our wedding anniversary. First opened a glass on the rooftop before dinner (which is a lovely experience), then enjoyed it with some of the earlier courses, before moving onto a Napa Cab for the later courses.
Lively bubbles, but the acidity is definitely a lot less sharp than some of the younger Krugs I've had.
Loads of lemon, lime zest, yellow peach, brioche, hay, green apple. Also picked up some slight toasted spices on this as well and maybe some cedar?
I thoroughly enjoyed this and was sad to be down to the last drop.
I'm sure this will likely get better with age, wish I had another bottle!
93+ points.
