Tasting Notes:
Krug's 1985 Vintage shimmered on the palate in a full-bodied, sensual style. The 1985 Krug took things one step further, with gorgeous complexity in the smoke, mint, mineral and ash notes that developed around the fruit. It was a staggering bottle. Tasting notes from dinner at Del Posto, NYC 2/09 - RP 96
The 1985 Krug was delicate, perfumed and lithe on the palate, with superb freshness and a more compact frame than the 1988. I came back to it often and never failed to be seduced by its mesmerizing personality. Tasting notes from dinner at home. RP 3/08
Along with 1982 and 1989, 1985 is the finest vintage of the eighties thanks to excellent ripeness and a good-sized crop. A superb champagne vintage! Robert Parker, Wine Buyers Guide (5), January 2000
"A seductive, fully mature, spicy-flavored Champagne that's rich in texture, full in body, still quite firm in balance and long on the finish. What a satisfying taste experience!" - Wine Spectator 94
Wine-Searcher Prices range from £220 - £330 a bottle.
