"Lovely tiny bead. Lemony lift on the nose. Olivier Krug told us ruefully that this was one of two vintages (with 1989) when the UK trade didn't complain that it was released too young. There is apparently lots of Pinot Noir in the blend even though it tastes so crisp and vital. This is a wine that tastes unusually open for a vintage Krug. Very broachable indeed. Dry, chewy finish bit not aggressively so."

Nick Stock 98 points!"This is quite an incredible Champagne, with virtually unmatched grace and complexity, a hedonistic treat that will leave you gasping for more at the end of the bottle. The nose has deep autolysis notes, buttered toast and crumpets, dark, yeasty notes and a wealth of melted butter. Notes of dried apple and plenty of spice here, a real essay in deep pinot noir. The palate is precise and deeply anchored; it holds the line beautifully, delivering concentrated lemon and grapefruit flavours, assertive, tingly acidity, finely beaded spark and smooth, nutty hazelnut flavours through the finish. A savoury, complex and majestic wine that's very, very distinctive."
