1985 Krug blanc de blanc
Mature Champagne from the appearance, a pale, gentle gold colour. Gentle concentration on the nose, but a touch smelly. Mature, rich and with plenty of bottle age on the palate; some dryness but good acidity. There is a cleansing dose of acidity on the aftertaste before a lemon and grapefruit finish takes over and lasts well. Served blind this was guessed to be Pol Roger 1980. 89/100. Drunk 10-Apr-15 as part of the Doty Cup.
Top Ports in 2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.
2025: Quevedo 1972 Colheita, b.2024. Just as good as Niepoort 1900!
