ummmmmm Krug...
Two different bottles of the 1992 Krug Clos du Mesnil Blanc de Blancs... wow... amazing wine. Tart lemon curd on buttered brioche... hazelnut, crisp granny smith apples, hints of iodine, minerals, how beautiful. Better than the 1990? I think so...
TWO bottles?! Surely that's just being greedy or something! The Clos du Mesnil is on my wish list. I have managed to treat myself to Krug's NV and it went down so well on Christmas morning!
Greedy, maybe... decadent? Definitely! While I will say the Champagne was tremendous, on a price-to-quality ratio, the vintage Krug still wins... You should try it at least once though.
