im not ashamed... Krug is a guilty pleasure of mine...
As midnight struck turning me 27, I looked around.. everybody was gone except a lonely bottle of Champagne. Soon we became friends, and I was beginning to understand my love for Krug... I will take it any day over Dom Perignon. So often are luxury goods over rated and nothing near what they are talked up to be. For me this is an exception. Although usually not a fan of grand oakyness the Krug grand cuvee (a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) fermented completely in small oak casks really shows the harmonious side of OAK. The wine dances on your tongue and the components play together like a symphony.
All I need in this life of sin... is me and some Krug
Some of the wines opened tonight. The 1999 Marcassin Pinot Noir was nice upon opening had a rich barnyard smell with dirty fruits. Within only 10 minutes It completely cleaned up with bright red fruits and violets as if it had jumped in the shower, shaved put on a tie and said ''okay, I'm ready for ya!''.
Nico, that photo is priceless! Love it... Man, would love to drink some Krug with you sometime.... happy birthday!
