Written Notes

Unexpectedly weak but collected scent. Majestically deep and seriously eternal taste. Meaty and well preserved.

We started with, of course, Champagne. We received an early clue, ‘pre 1945.’ King Angry said, ‘I’d be shocked if this was from the ‘20s.’ It wasn’t. It had a bready and yeasty nose, with hints of oil, wet wool and limestone. The palate was in the dry fino direction, but it wasn’t oxidized. Nice citrus and white chocolate flavors got brighter in the glass. It was a bit tangy with lots of apple cider on its finish, which had very little bubble left to it. It did make up for that by gaining in its caramel and flesh components. It was a 1943 Krug; no one really had a consensus about how this vintage was, as there was so little wine made due to the war (91M).
