Krug 2008 Champagne Bottle - Gift Case - 100 Points James Suckling
£599.99
ABV 12.5%
“Exceptional freshness with aromas of flinty white stones, flowers, almonds and lemons. There’s hazelnut and strawberry here, too. Complex. The palate has a long, powerful and smooth-honed feel with very assertive citrus flavors, driven by long acidity. A perfect 2008.”100/100

Tasting notes
At first sight, Krug 2008 has 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, the Krug 2008 vintage offers length on the palate, while remaining precise and remarkably structured.
