Krug Clos du Mesnil--Vintage 1989
Excellent appearance, two bottles with tricentenary neck label
Tasting note: The 1989 Clos du Mesnil, from a warmer year, makes for a fascinating contrast to the cool inward 1988. It is a bigger, fatter wine that caresses the palate with layers of expansive, generous fruit. Sweet scents of caramel, hazelnuts and honey add complexity to the fruit. Despite its burnished, textured fruit, the 1989 remains light on its feet and superbly well-balanced but it is at, or close to, peak. 'In the Cellar'July 2011. Antonio Galloni (erobertparker.com)
