Poised and pretty. Light gold and signs of secondary notes. Lush and blanched with great fruit and beautiful integrated acidity. Very good. From mag

Slightly more gold in color. Some secondary notes- biscuit, apricot, corn. Some lovely oxidative soft notes- honey, peach, flowers and a very pure long, fresh finish. Great balance.

A lovely nose. Hints of spice and toast notes. On the palate secondary notes coming through but lovely freshness. Quite punchy in the middle with good acidity. Apricots and a relief minerality. Really complex and in a great place.

For me, one of best champagnes I’ve ever tasted..
This 1996 is still so fresh and so much alive..
It’s apples, vanilla, honey toasted bread and a lot of other excellent notes..
I’m very impressed!!

Light gold color with classic nose of oxidized wine, dried fruit and barrel. Perfect mouthfeel with flavors of ripe pear, ginger and butterscotch. Still has teeth cleaning acid finish.

Oxidative notes. Peach, orange, hazelnut. On the palate pretty fresh. Slightly tangy.

Wow. Very pure and intense. Driving fruit with gorgeous acidity and balance. Pretty primary still with huge length. Apparently stored at Krug until 2017. Amazingly fresh and balanced.

An absolutely stunning lunch from @joe leatherwood . 1 sparkler, 2 whites, 5 reds and 1 dessert wine. All served blind.

One of the best examples of champagne I’ve ever had. The moment I saw it in the glass, I was sold. Then I smelled it, and I was in love. Just absolutely mind boggling. I was between Jacques Selosse or older vintage Krug, and eventually felt very confident in my JSelosse guess. Supremely and beautifully oxidized. Sherry, candied ginger, honey drizzled stone fruits with orange marmalade covered scone. Nutty too. I can’t get enough of this style of champagne.

Lovely soft lemon with biscuity fresh breads nose. Lovely fine acidity, with hints of orange, oyster shells and a calm balancing minerality. Expansive and more and more delicious as time goes by in the glass. A sweetness in the edges. Wonderful.
