This great vintage from Krug is rich, toasty and decadent on the nose, concentrated and ultimately vivacious on the palate. It has it all, from hazelnuts and cream to citrus zip. This wine is expansive, with a peacock's tail of flavors revealing itself after the wine has been swallowed and continuing on for as long as you care to pay attention. 99+ points, Josh Reynolds for Vinous: "Light gold. Remarkably perfumed nose projects an exotic bouquet of deep, leesy yellow fruit, minerals, honeycomb, smoked meat and flowers, with Asian spices building expanding in the glass. Almost painfully concentrated, offering a surreal parade of orchard and pit fruits, smoked meat, toasted brioche and marrow braced by intensely salty, stunningly incisive minerality. Imagine a Frankenstein's monster of Chablis Le Clos and Clos Ste. Hune-but one with perfect balance, of course-and you get an idea of what I found in my bottle. The energetic, stony character builds exponentially on the finish, which didn't seem to, well, finish. The best analogy I can come up with for the intensity, focus and clarity of this Champagne is liquefied barbed wire. Utterly hallucinatory and one of the most amazing wines I've ever been fortunate enough to drink. At the risk of sounding completely out of touch with reality, this is a value." (11/2007)
