With the 1982 vintage in Champagne being one of the best of the decade, this release from Krug, one of the most prestigious houses in Champagne is a real showstopper. From the producer, "it is opulent and generous while increasingly serene."

In this tasting, the 1982 Collection (Magnum) comes across as tightly wound, with tons of crystalline energy in reserve. There is no shortage of precision or nuance, but the 1982 doesn't quite have the body of the 1981 nor the aromatic finesse of the 1985, both of which I tasted alongside it. The 1982 is bright, tense, and, as much as I am shocked to say it, painfully young. When will the 1982 from magnum be at its best? I am not sure, but it does not appear to be now.

Disgorged at the same time as the original Krug Vintage 1982, this is one of the most profoundly complex Champagnes you could dream of encountering. A universe of profound exotic spice, pipesmoke and burnt grapefruit evolves to plum depth, nuanced by wonderful mineral texture.
