1996 Krug, Vintage Brut 1x3L

Robert Parker 97

It has been a while since we met, but the Krug 1996 is unequivocally a brilliant slice of champagne " the nose cut from some slab of limestone that must of plummeted into the Champagne countryside from outer space. The palate is rapier like acidity, life-affirming mineralite and a focus and freshness that is nothing less than thrilling. Krug is one of life’s great pleasures and this is one of their finest vintages. Tasted November 2012. [Neal Martin, 01/11/2012]
