Krug, Champagne (France) Brut 1995

($250, Moet Hennessy USA): Krug ages their vintage Champagne and waits to release it until they feel it is ready to drink. Hence, the 1995 is their current release. (They released their awesome 1990 vintage Champagne only a few years ago). A bit forward, it is opulent with hints of toastiness. A lively citric finish completes their signature combination of freshness and maturity. The lengthy, elegant finish reminds you why Krug is different from all other Champagne. 95 Michael Apstein Oct 10, 2006
