Krug is always most welcome, and Valentine’s Day is no exception. This is edition 169. A bit more yeasty and slightly less acidic than previous versions, to my taste. But if you like the Krug style - which we do very much - it hits the spot per usual.

My wife used to work with Fritz Hatton, proprietor of Arietta wines and auctioneer for Zachys. Fritz always says to have a half bottle of champagne waiting in the fridge in case you need a “midnight snack”, and I have to agree with him! — 5 years ago

Blind tasting night - Considered Bordeaux Varietals due to the Pyrazines, and I should have gone old world due to the tart fruit on the pallet.. however it was ripe, and I went Margaret River, Australia.. should have went with my gut. But, it was midnight so I'll blame it on fatigue, ha. 🙃

Great wine from a great vintage - fun fact: this estate is the only other estate to be edited into the 1855 Classification a year later, as a 5th growth, literally hand written into the list. — 8 years ago

Rich and full bodied with good weight on the palate. Nice long finish - it can last until midnight- not sure if I will. HNY. — 2 years ago

OPAQUE 2014 petit verdot Colina D’Oro Vineyard, San Antonio Winery. The color of coarse is midnight black with a purple reflection on the walls of the glass. The bouquet is CHOCOLATE!!!!!!! OMG... The initial palate has loads of dark fruit and berries, raspberries, and fig. The mid-palate brings on the chocolate and vanilla and graphite. Then comes the long finish with smoke and oak to a dry dry finish!!!!! Still one of my all time favorites from California!!! — 8 years ago

Glorious blast of dark, ripe berry notes,, med-weight low ABV, chewy balanced finish.,.round, fruit-juice driven sipper that deepens and gets more serious as it lingers in the glass. 60 % red, 40 % white wine combined and not co-fermented. Nice introduction to Hardy’s new project. Zoom concerts are amazing! — 5 years ago

Cork wasn’t great but it didn’t effect the wine, still going strong perfect midnight black in color with the great funky nose.
Just a notch below the 2005 which had a fuller body & a nose you could smell 3ft away, — 7 years ago

Hello to my spicy Shiraz lovers! Here is my new favorite Shiraz of all time! From McLaren Vale, its MollyDooker Blue Eyed Boy Shiraz 2015. I love this big spicy chocolate shiraz. The color is darkness at midnight on a cloudy night. The legs are thick and slow. The bouquet is pepper and Black licorice. The initial palate is blackberry and dark cherry with a burst of spice so powerful your eyes start to water! The mid palate is explosive like the sensation you get from a 18 year old single malt scotch - okay, toned down a bit, but for wine...omg! The finish is slow and buttery. The dark chocolate storms the finish and leaves your mouth mildly dry with a thirst for more! At 45 - 50 dollars a bottle, it is pricey but so so so worth it!!!!!! I will buy this as my number one shiraz! This is perfection in a bottle. Ecstasy in a glass!!
Share this with your loved one and indulge in each other. Its not super thick on the palate, but at 17% you better have a glass of water between glasses! This is 11/8/17 - not as good at first, but after doing the Molly Dooker Shake and then a vigorous decant... perfect 10!!!!!!! — 9 years ago
