Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1998 (5 BT)

Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1998

Levels into the neck, 1 slightly damp-stained foil, 1 packing foam slightly adhered to top of capsule, packed in individual original wooden cases inside original cartons

This is from a big crop, with a heatwave in mid-August. In 2012, a totally creamy bouquet, then hawthorn, heather and briary hedges. Limes, clementines and fresh ginger So full in the mouth, surprising for a Blanc de Blancs, but this is no ordinary Chardonnay which was beautiful this year. Lemony taste developing to hazelnut butter and turning to caramel later. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 96
