Description

A truly perfect bottle in its perfect unblemished presentation box.
No scuffs, marks nor stains. Includes presentation box unique to the vintage.

'Krug is the only Champagne House still fermenting all of its champagne the age-old way,in small oak casks. Krug releases vintage wines in only truly great years. The release of the Krug 1988 marked the first time in Krug's 158 year history that its vintage chronology has been reversed.The Krug family decided to present the tender,warm and mature 1989 first and hold its 1988 vintage in Krugs' cellars to realize its full potential.

Today,after more than a decade in bottle Krug 1988 explodes on the palate with tremendous depth and complexity.The first impression is intense,yet it develops in the glass with delicacy,revealing lightly spiced notes of dried figs and ripe quince.Underlined by a superb structure,this wine maintains a remarkable freshness for its long ageing.'
Krug Winemakers' Notes 2011.

'No great vintage from Champagne drinks as well as the 1988's do right now, and I think it is safe to say that this vintage is even better than the flashier 1989 and 1990 harvests that got more press at the time. To drink one of the very best from this harvest is a huge treat, and Champagne, even wine in general does not get better than this 1988 Krug Brut Champagne. Cinnamon and I drank this fabulous bottle, which was a gift from a great customer and friend as the aperitif in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The deep brassy color and generous chanterelle, cream and nutty Pinot Noir cherry nose gave way to a graceful, vivacious impression on the palate- this Champagne has it all. The finish is still with me if I think back to it and is one of the most complete experiences I have had from a wine. Wow!'

"Opulent hazelnut, brioche and apple strudel aromas on the nose with a faint whiff of chalk dust. The palate is restrained and notably taut for Krug with high acidity and tightly wound roasted nut, stone fruit and toasted croissant flavours. Fine, frisky bubbles and a long praline finish. Drink now – 2020. Tasted January 2009".

According to Winesearcher on 08/01/2014 the minimum price including VAT that any retailer in the UK is currently selling Krug 1988 is £280.
