Decent pop upon opening, soft but substantial fizz resulting in a beautifully rounded texture.
Deep gold in the glass, trending towards amber, bottle condition was excellent.
Brioche notes with savory layers – shitake, balsamic. Not overly oxidative.
Intense lemony core that is typical of Krug hadn't faded at all. Good energy and tension though clearly starting to lose steam.
Drank over 2 hours, in retrospect I would have given it an hour after opening before starting – was a little to afraid to lose the fizz but there was nothing to worry about. Kept gaining depth and complexity until the last sip (which came too soon).
