1995 Krug (Magnum)
Produced only in years that reveal a unique expression of time and place, Krug Vintage is never intended to be "the best" year, but rather the most distinctive. The 1995 vintage followed a cool winter and warm, stable growing season, producing beautifully balanced grapes with remarkable generosity and freshness. Crafted from a blend of 48% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 17% Meunier, and aged for over a decade in Krug's cellars before release.
"A very youthful '95. Delicate. Intense aromas of ginger, citrus, candied berry and multigrain bread turn to honey, roasted almonds and graphite on the palate. It's all underscored by a precise structure and creamy texture. Its structure keeps it persistent through the long finish. A picture of precision and intensity. Drink now through 2025." 98/100 Wine Spectator, July 2006
