Light yellow. Rich and powerful, with leesy pear and white truffle aromas accented by gentle notes of white pepper and cinnamon. Extremely powerful Krug, with rich orchard fruit flavors, a velvety texture and warm, rich, inviting notes of brioche and creme brulee Finishes with intense pear and peach flavors and lingering notes of smoke, iodine and toffee. One of the most concentrated Champagnes I tried this year.

Rating for France-Champagne: 90 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: young, aging quickly, could be good now<br/>

true krug pedigree smooth classy complex ending with tomato undertones. comparable with but prefer the krug 1996. befitting a special occasion walls farewell and uncles visit. wow! in Sweden. super!
