- Bucko - 12-24-2007 1996 Krug, Brut Champagne, France, $300. This is perfection in a bottle. If price is no object over the holidays, don't miss out on this experience. You'll find an enchanting bouquet of honeycomb, ginger, leesy/doughy notes, hazelnuts, smoke and spice. Perfectly balanced, with nice minerality, the wine is powerful while maintaining a sense of grace. Still in its youth, this will be drinking well for the next quarter of a century; 100/100. - TheEngineer - 12-26-2007 I gotta scrap up enough for a few of these.. - Bucko - 12-26-2007 Amazing stuff -- if it was only $50 a bottle, I'd go broke stocking up. |
