Krug 2008

By Steen Öhman October 17, 2021 - 2 Comments

The Krug 2008 is a masterpiece, recalling legendary examples like the 1988 or further back the 1973, which were intense, but still refined, vintages of this magnificent Champagne. This is more delicate and refined than the 1988 - still a true food Champagne - yet still has that vintage's vivid …

Krug, Vintage 2000

By Steen Öhman September 17, 2012 -

The Krug Vintage 2000 is the most accessible and harmonious young vintage Krug I have tasted. In the bouquet apple, yeast, almonds, white bread with notes of citrus.

On the palate it's dense and powerfull with layers of quite heavy fruit. It's delicate with a lovely fine mousse, and quite refined with layers of pure ripe …

Krug, Vintage 1979

By Steen Öhman October 15, 2011 - Leave a Comment

The Krug Vintage 1979 needs your love and care! Straight from the bottle the nose is quite closed with some .. less attractive oxidative notes. But given time in the glass it develops into a wonderful mature champagne. In the bouquet notes of apricot, bread and almonds. On the palate the classic …
