This is a classic vintage for Krug, indeed one of the finest wines made in this not-especially-celebrated vintage. Dense yet filigree. Dry and deep-flavoured. At its peak now. (JR)

Score 18.5/20 · Drink 1990-2012, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2007
From magnum. Quite a dark gold colour with a particularly 'meaty' nose. Very, very firm but lovely, lively, fresh stuff. This has always been an especially good wine from our wedding year. (JR)
