“Hello, old friend!” It’s been a couple years since I last enjoyed the ‘96 Krug and I’m very pleased to report, not much has changed!

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 1996 pours a straw color with a persistent mousse. On the nose, the wine remains developing with powerful notes of ripe orchard fruit, raspberries, marzipan, lemon curd, fresh brioche, hazelnuts and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with high acidity. Confirming the notes from the nose. The balance of fruit to structure is ridiculous. The finish still goes forever and the texture is divine. Drink now with patience through 2056. — 8 days ago

This is a nice cab. Supple, dark, a little spice. People are posting prices anywhere from $20 to $50. I paid $43 🤷‍♂️

Når det kommer til champagne, er jeg åbenbart meget basic. 🤷‍♂️ — 5 months ago

A brutally strenuous week is coming to a close, a week full of professional and personal disappointments. What lies ahead is a weekend in NYC with vintage champagnes and other goodies - to be posted soon. Back to this lovely 164 Krug that I found when pulling bottles for the Saturday tasting. This is in a great place right now, vibrant with mellowing acidity, brioche and just, what can you say, a Krug. — a month ago

A light nose of lime and stone. A hint of green apple. On the palate lovely fine acidity. This it’s defined and sharp and edgy with great definition and very fine detail. Lovely stuff — a month ago

Rich, round, and weighty. Bright sweet lemon and brioche notes. 12 % ABV with a long grippy finish. Balance is the single best descriptor and pure pleasure the result. Prime example of a California character driven non-jammy Chablis-nuanced Chardonnay. Bravo! — 6 months ago
