Krug, 2008
Krug 2008 is the result of a cool and balanced year, which the Krug tasting panel nicknamed “Timeless Elegance”.
The unexpected diversity of the grape varieties is illustrated by great complexity, and there is a very wide spectrum of flavours and aromas that emanated as a result of the harvest.
For the final blend, the Krug Cellar Master selected wines that reflected all the complexity of 2008, in a remarkably structured composition imbued with the elegance of that year.
After spending 12 years in Krug’s cellars, this remarkable 2008 has become yet more expressive, offering a remarkable profile that is both precise and harmonious.
At first sight it shows a bright, intense golden colour. It is expressive, rich and generous on the nose, with burnished aromas of honey, liquorice, menthol, orange and grapefruit peel. Lively, intense and harmonious with a wonderful tension on the palate, notes of quince, candied fruit and citrus, yellow kiwi, star fruit, honey, apple tart, petit beurre biscuits, orange peel, peony and fennel, as well as floral and mentholated touches that stand out upon tasting.
Finally, this incredible 2008 vintage offers length on the palate, while remaining precise and remarkably structured.
