No Krug for the family on this visit 😏.
Thought I finished my 6 pack but found it in a box of “wines to drink”. Some pear and honey on the nose. In the mouth decent acidity along with oxidative notes and bruised apple. Lacking in complexity and length. Unlike my bottle in ‘19 that was apple cider this was alive but should be consumed .

Last bottle of a 6 pack. Disappointing as it has transformed from multi flavored to apple cider.

Laser like focus with well delineated mineral, fruit, and yeast components and crystalline clarity.

Lemon meringue, wet wool and fresh cut flowers on the nose. Bright sweet & sour lemons, (Lemonheads) underripe tangerine with peel, gava/papaya, chalky edgy mineralogy, bright slightly fizzy acidity with a decent finish.

Beautiful, ripe nectarine and red apple, good structure and a strong backbone of acid, richly textured. Fragrant. Pleasing. Lemony finish.
