Description

Krug, Clos du Mesnil 1998

Slightly scuffed coil foil, in original wooden case within the original outer carton


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


這一年收穫豐盛,八月中還非常炎熱。此佳釀在2012年品嚐,充滿奶油香、山楂、石楠花及綠籬笆的氣味。味道則帶青檸檬,橘子及鮮薑。口感異常豐厚,有別於一般的Blanc De Blancs,全因為這是出自一個非常好的年份,而不是一般的莎當妮。收結帶檸檬味,然後是榛子醬,再轉化成焦糖。施慧娜 (葡萄酒大師M.W.)
