Krug Collection--Vintage 1969
Reims
". . .In 1989 the Krug Collection was launched, its handsome box including vintage information: 'cold winter, cold rainy spring, summer dry and fine, similar September'. The flowering took place between 16 June and 17 July, the small crop being picked from 1 to 13 October. The 'Collection' was a different ballgame: a lovely rich, nutty wine, though I was surprised by its modest alcoholic content: 10 Most recently, a Krug Collection magnum served at noon by Wilf Jaeger before his great Romanée-Conti tasting: its coulour a pure 'King Tut' gold with fair mousse; low-keyed but gently laced, slightly minerally bouquet with whiff of fresh walnuts; dry--though medium-dry after a rather salty tit-bit--good flavour, length and the '69 trait, acidity. Somewhat idiosyncratic but an elegant start to an unprecedented great burgundy lunch. In the hills south of San Francisco, March 2002 ****. MB, Vintage Wine
