1980 Krug Clos du Mesnil

I can hardly believe that it's true. Honestly, can a wine from this relatively simple vintage really be this good? Yes—at least my first bottle was fantastic. The similarities with the fabulous '79 were many. The aroma spectrum was basically identical to the legend. Only the cleanness of the '79 surpassed this sensational wine. I just have to taste them together! Now that is done and todays 80 is mature pleasant but not one of the greatest. Very youthful in Düsseldorf 2015. Nov 2015, www.champagneclub.com
