Tasting Notes and Scores

98 RJ

Krug '82 will soon join the ranks of the legendary wines. It has all the bricks needed to build a mighty castle. The fruit is enormous, the acidity, the concentration, the house's barrel tones: all are present and correct. The '82, along with the '89, is the most full-bodied wine to come from the property since 1976, but has a far greater elegance than that vintage. The nose's spectrum embraces nuts, coffee, butter, sun-dried sheets, toffee-wrappers, orchids, vanilla, balsam poplars, and oranges. Most of these aromas are found once again in the explosive taste.
