I think I'm in love...
My *first* KRUG
I am a lucky girl, I know. Lucky for the opportunity to taste many exceptional Champagnes. This is one vintage of KRUG I enjoyed with my family back in the summer of 2010 accompanied by a sky rise view of San Francisco. The 1995 Vintage of KRUG BRUT averages around $200 per 750 ml. bottle. I am specifically using this bottle (these photos) as a representation of my *first* KRUG posting because this was my *first* KRUG experience and what an impression it left. This Champagne is by far my favorite. This tasting was delicious but overwhelming as I wasn't entirely sure what nuances to look for. It wasn't until I was able to do a KRUG, Dom Perignon and Cristal side by side tasting when I realized just how delicious this bubbly is! Dom and Cristal were quite delicate in comparison, my palette's interpretation of bold & yeasty flavor of KRUG has me hooked. Since this bottle I have been able to try multiple vintages and styles to compare flavors, effervescence and style. It has been an amazing experience. The only unfortunate piece now is my palette is so spoiled!
Special thanks to Jim Beam for continuously sharing his many amazing wines!

KRUG 1995
Krug Vintage is a statement – Krug’s definitive, one-off interpretation of the character of an outstanding year. The blend contains wines exclusively from that year. TASTE
Krug 1995 is the consummate expression of the 1995 vintage, tempering the warmth of summer sunshine with the crispness of autumnal nights. Pale gold in the glass, with the first sip it reveals an abundance of flavours, a fullness of texture and a richness of finish that are the perfect foil for its exhilarating freshness.
