Krug 1996 Krug 1996 Champagne In 2012, a wonderful nose of mandarin orange zests, with a touch of melon - un grand depart! So 'winey' on the palate, with great vinosity and shape. This is monumental Krug and, incidentally, the last year when Paul Krug was part of the tasting team - this pays a last tribute to him. Seamless fruit. I wonder whether it has some similarity with the legendary 1928 at the same age - we can only surmise, but it would be logical given the structure. Keep on checking! Serena Sutcliffe, MW Lot 6722 6 bts (oc) per lot: HKD 12000-16000 per lot: USD 1500-2000 Few great wine collectors, even if they concentrate on red wines, bypass Krug Champagne. Its power and sheer vinosity appeal to a connoisseur of the greatest Bordeaux and Burgundy, and collectors have a tendency to preface their tastings and dinners with a glass of this majestic Reims "institution". Some go so far as to organise vertical tastings of Krug in its own right, recognising the unique properties of this Champagne in terms of development and maturity. Krug is the Rolls Royce of Champagnes. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Quantity: 1
