Note di degustazione
ID 212017. Disgorged March 2012. Second release. 47% Pinot Noir, 29% Chardonnay, 24% Pinot Meunier from 25 villages. Summer 1989 was very warm. Krug 1989 is part of the first trilogy of Krug vintage releases in the history of the house. Original order of release was 1989, 1988 and 1990. Today Krug’s only other trilogy is 2003, 2002 and 2004, released in that order. Tasted blind. Pale tawny. Masses of evolution and depth. Bruised apples and some tarte-Tatin juice on the nose. Rich on the palate. Really broad and majestic with relatively low acid. This was a bit soft and was disgorged some time ago. It was in the comforting rather than energising spectrum. (JR)

The 1989 Krug Collection is a wine with an uneven track record. This bottle is one of the finer examples I have had. Fully mature flavors of hazelnut, tobacco, smoke, licorice and dried fruits all make an appearance, while some of the more mushroomy elements found in some bottles are, thankfully, missing. At its best, the 1989 is a delicious Champagne, but it is not built for too much more aging from here on out.
Pre coding! Rich nose with real density. Mahogany flavours somehow, Mature, rich but still exciting. Reverberant with a hint of ginger. Certainly ready. (JR)
It’s Friday, and that can only mean one thing. Champagne. This bottle of the 1989 Krug Collection is one of the very best I have had. The 1989 Collection is variable in quality, and quite a few examples have been on the mature side. Not this bottle. Its flavors are bright, focused and fresh for a Champagne of this age, with the classic super-fine Krug texture that invites a second glass and then a third as we look over the menu.
Informazioni sul produttore
Krug is a remarkable Champagne House which only makes prestige cuvées. The wines – with their distinctive rich, complex, oxidative style – are some of the region’s best.
