Jancis Robinson, 18/20 Points

"Complex, intellectual nose with a sort of burnished gold impression."

Winemaker Notes:

"A blend of 134 wines from 12 different years, the youngest of which is from 2005, while the oldest dates back to 1990. A stay of around seven years in Krug's cellars gives Krug Grande Cuvée 161ème Edition its distinct expression and elegance. In all, reserve wines from the House's extensive library made up 32% of the final blend, bringing the breadth and roundness so essential to each Edition of Krug Grande Cuvée. Due to its size, Krug Grande Cuvée 161ème Edition Jeroboam spent at least two years longer on the lees than the 75cl format. Tasting Notes: A light golden color and fine, vivacious bubbles, holding a promise of pleasure. Aromas of flowers in bloom, ripe, dried and citrus fruits, as well as marzipan and gingerbread. Flavors of hazelnut, nougat, barley sugar, jellied and citrus fruits, almonds, brioche and honey."

Alcohol: 12%
