Note di degustazione
Pinot Noir 44%, Chardonnay 33% and Pinot Meunier 23%. Base vintage 2004. Reserve wine 35%. 7 years on lees, disgorged spring 2012. Dosage 6 g/l. Smells fat/rich and honeyed. Ripe, spicy yellow fruits. On the palate, this is terrific, demerara sugar but balanced by very high acidity and a saline aftertaste, with an echo of the 2004's 'seaside' theme. Dried fruits, golden sultanas as well as tart orange notes. Extreme persistence. Juicy, generous, honeyed-fresh aftertaste.

Starting to show some age with a touch of acidity on the nose with candied caramel and bread crust. Spices such as nutmeg. Salted caramel. Full-bodied, flavorful and spicy. Lots of toast but refined at the end. Always decadent. In a perfect place now combining youth with age. Drink now.
ID 214025. 121 ingredients in the blend, with wines from 12 different years back to 1990. Recreated round the 2004 harvest, which constitutes 65% of the blend. 44% Pinot Noir, 33% Chardonnay, 23% Pinot Meunier. Lightly floral nose. Dry and a little chewy and austere. Very Krug! Quite intellectual and demanding. (JR)
