Celebrating life with my wife at Helm Manila. The Philippines’ first two star restaurant. Chef Josh Boutwood was an excellent host and was very interactive.

Power and finesse in a bottle. Toasted brioche, intense, ripe and tart orchard fruits, chalky minerality. Rich, broad, and elegant.

    Krug is so damn good. It’s nice you got to try an older release with some bottle age! The 163e is base vintage 2007 with the oldest vintage included being 1990.

  2. I can’t wait to turn 40, I’ll treat myself with a bottle then. It looks excellent

    Krug was the first wine that made me realize “oooh, so *this* is why people go nuts over Champagne”
