Tasting notes
I loved the 1990 Krug, which shows the richness and power this cuvée is known for. Offering a medium gold color and rich, full-bodied notes of brioche, toasted nuts, and crème caramel, it’s deep, concentrated, and evolved, and ready to go.

The 1990 Vintage, tasted from magnum, was remarkable for its opulent and exuberant personality and incredible finesse.
At its finest, the 1990 Vintage is superb, revealing a slightly oxidized style, but a full-bodied, rustic, rich personality with the body of a red wine, but loads of character. I cannot recommend the 1989 Vintage as three bottles tasted were all oxidized, possibly from bad storage, but who knows? Importer: Moet-Hennessy, USA, New York, NY; tel. (212) 251-8200.
