The 1995 Krug showed a touch more oxidative and had more concentrated fruit than the ‘96 Pierre Peters that we enjoyed alongside. There’s a lovely mélange of strawberry, white peach, citrus, nuts and marshmallow. Similarly to the PP, there’s fabulous acid and a long life ahead.

A powerhouse. Deep, rich and concentrated. Hard to beat aged vintage Krug in great condition.

Needed a little time for acid fruit and age all to come together. Still vibrant.

This is developing beautifully and deftly displaying richness and freshness - 1995

Nice light gold color. Good small bubbles with an aged appearance. Notes of crunchy French bread, lemon and pit fruit. Creamy finish. Don't think this will get much better with more age.

Light gold with lots of fine tiny bubbles. Shows a bit of age on the nose with some complexity. Notes of lemon, white stone and white flowers. Great energy in the mouth. Lots of fruit, balanced with nice acidity. Good finish.

Fantastic bubbles! Extremely powerful with nice notes of Brioche and orchard fruit. Color and mousse suggest a younger wine for sure.

Tons of apple and lemon, pretty reductive. Minerality and salinity strong backbone. Almost feels like a more acidic aged semillon.
