A highly successful vintage (*****) one of those rare years where the growing conditions were ideal. Palish yellow straw, very good smokey classic Pinot-dominated bouquet, dryish, firm, slightly nutty, excellent acidity. Not showing its age. **** Michael Broadbent
Krug '82 will soon join the ranks of the legendary wines. It has all the bricks needed to build a mighty castle. The fruit is enormous, the acidity, the concentration, the house's barrel tones: all are present and correct. The '82, along with the '89, is the most full-bodied wine to come from the property since 1976, but has a far greater elegance than that vintage. The nose's spectrum embraces nuts, coffee, butter, sun-dried sheets, toffee-wrappers, orchids, vanilla, balsam poplars, and oranges. Most of these aromas are found once again in the explosive taste.
Score: 97/100 Richard Juhlin, Champagne Club, October 2013
Not yet in its second life. Hasn't evolved enough to be in the Collection phase. Much paler and greener. Lovely sweet brioche nose. Very, very dense and tight and lively. Dom Pérignon-like. Creamy, fine, dense: lots of energy. Very, very tight. In between, long, tense, vibration. Very, very long (I could definitely see a relationship with the ‘64). Quite big and ripe.
