Krug Clos du Mesnil 1985 750ml

Winespectator.com/ Issue Dec 31, 1997
Classic in balance, harmony and flavor. Displays a fantastic combination of mature flavors and plush texture, with a sense of freshness and vibrancy that elevates it well above the outstanding level. Drink now through 2000. Far better than when tasted last year.

Krug was established in 1843 by Joseph Krug and has since specialised in producing only prestige and specialised champagnes. Krug is the only firm still producing all its champagne in small oak casks, an essential element for developing Krug's intense bouquet and complex flavours. Today, Henri, Rémi and Olivier Krug, who supervise every step of production, tasting and blending, represent the 5th and 6th generations.
With long periods of maturation (6-8 years), Krug champagne continues to age gracefully after release, developing an intensely rich, nutty flavour whilst remaining remarkably fresh.
