Krug - Grande Cuvée Brut Champagne NV (750ml) Rice Wine 40-50 year-old vines planted onCritical Acclaim JS99 James Suckling The tightness and tension of this is impressive considering the youngest wine from this is 2015 (hot and dry year), with some wines going back to 2000. Ginger and orange zest. Some creme brulee. It's medium bodied with apple, pie crust and floral character. It's salty and zesty yet, at the same time, complex and gorgeous. Chamomile and other floral teas highlight everything. Turns rich and flavorful at the finish.
