No formal notes. I remember this one as very convincing, fresh with good structure and length. A very fine muscat. Tasted @ Van Bilsen, Muratie tasting. — 9 years ago
18 Yes, it will go on forever, but unlike a great Sauternes, it won't get even better. But no complaints! And it was unaffected by 3 days since being uncorked (kept at 12 degrees under Vacuvin). — 9 years ago

Not as complex and long as the 75 this 76 shadow wine still lingers with mystery apothecary box of La Miss...forever unique on its own. — 8 years ago
Classy. Ripeness but contained. Oak is both subdued and seemlessly integrated. On the nose is explosive fruit, freshness. No secondary aromas detected. On the palate, medium tannins, fine, with great balance. Acidity shines through. Goes on forever -- endless length. — 9 years ago

Giving absolute credence to the reputation that the wines from the Margaux commune show, both displayed an elegance allied with a subtle power and perfect balance, especially 2005.
2000 had a trace pyrazine note that I found unexpected, and quite frankly not that enjoyable. Outside of that the wine was perfect. The second bottle did not throw it as strong, so not exactly in the clear on this night.
The 2005 was in perfect shape, drink now or age it another 20 years easy, this was so enjoyable and balanced with perfect tannin integration and a seamless, dense and pure finish that sailed on forever.

Fantastic length and grip, will last forever! — 8 years ago
Shit picture. Great wine. Krug has long been one of my favorite '96s. Searing acid structure, but there's enough body, fruit and now secondary savories around it to keep it all together. Drinking now, but will go forever. A total skyscraper of a wine. — 9 years ago

This bottle of wine was given to my son Tom Jr from my brother in law Brian Donovan. Brian gave Tommy the wine as a gift to commemorate the announcement of his wife Jenna being pregnant with my first Grandchild. Tom and Jenna have chosen tonight 02/25/2013, to open this memorable bottle. We will be forever grateful to Brian for this incredible wine experience. — 11 years ago
