Vintage 2008 75 cl.

Points 100/100 Points: James Suckling
“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.” Jamessuckling.com, Oct 2021

99/100 Points: Wine Spectator
There's a supernova of sensation with each sip of this powerful version, This burns bright from start to finish, yet its fine integration and lovely, raw silk–like mousse pull it all together into a seamless, vibrant package.

The experience: At first glance, you experience an intense and brilliant golden hue. The bouquet is rich and has rich notes of honey, licorice, menthol, orange peel and grapefruit. The palate is lively, intense and harmonious with great fullness on the palate expressing notes of quince, candied fruit and citrus, yellow kiwi, star fruit, honey, apple pie, butterscotch, orange peel, peony and fennel, with floral and menthol undertones. It has a long, balanced and precise finish with an amazing structure.

Food Pairing: Krug 2008 is a beautiful match for oyster tartar with lobster emulsion, Parmesan shortbread, tagliatelle with mussels and basil, dishes prepared with aromatic herbs such as oregano and thyme or white fish in lemon and pepper sauce, as well as desserts such as passion fruit and lemon meringue.
