Excellent. Sweet edges and real zip. Very fresh and dynamic. Lacks a touch on the finish

Heck of a hosting by @Weston Eidson last night for the City Club wine group. All wines were tasted blind.
Always just silly good. One of my favorite aromatics from champagne...”oxidative” with yeast, toffee, and caramelized nougat. Palate carrying sweet fruit cradled by oak with impeccable texture. I called this NV champagne, but mentioned it could be Krug. I will state though that once the producer was revealed, we were all a bit surprised based on the palate...it was rich, but wasn’t as powerful as expected? Then again, it was the third of three champagnes served so the power effect may have dwindled based on palate expectations.

The 165 is on the young side. Bright citrus and floral but still with some sharp edges. Needs a couple of years to round out but this is still classic Krug, what a treat.

A bit harsh upon opening. Very nutty. Rochefort cheese and mushrooms too. Mellowed after 45 minutes. Pretty unique tasting.
