Champagne Vintage Brut in Geschenkpackung 2008

100
/100

En af de bedste unge champagner, jeg nogensinde har smagt, svær at slå med hensyn til længde. Har alt, hvad man kan forvente af en stor champagne, og viser det. Et mesterværk af præcision og intensitet. 2008'erne er utroligt friske og bygget til at holde, men de har også brug for meget, meget lang tid. Det bliver mere og mere tydeligt, at 2008 endnu ikke er helt drikkeklar blandt de bedste vine, og nogle af dem kom helt sikkert lidt for tidligt på markedet set i bakspejlet. Hvis du kan mønstre tålmodighed, bør du helt sikkert lade Krug 2008 ligge et par år endnu - det er bedre at drikke den frem mod 2030. I sin ungdom er denne årgang så knivskarp, at nogle kendere måske vil finde den for overvældende. Under alle omstændigheder er det for tidligt til den hedonistiske nydelsesfase, i bedste fald fornøjelig for mineralfreaks. Men potentielt en af de helt store.

Suckling om: Champagne Vintage Brut in Geschenkpackung

This is very structured and framed with an almost red sensibility. Very phenolic. Full-bodied in a tightly wound ball with so much going on. Very pinot like. Mineral and stone. Shell and stone. Iodine. Vinous. The bubbles just fade into the finish of the wine, which goes on for minutes. Turns to toffee and salted caramel with time in the glass. One for the cellar. Great length. Blend of 53% pinot noir, 25% pinot meunier, 22% chardonnay. Disgorged in beginning of 2020. Drink or hold.

Jeff Leve om: Champagne Vintage Brut in Geschenkpackung

Had this twice over the past few weeks, and it was incredible both times. Sharp as a razor's edge, the wine is marked by its blinding, razor's edge of acidity. Crisp, crackling, bright, perfectly ripe, yellow citrus, crushed rocks, almonds, and brioche are all over the place. The resilient finish just keeps on going This is a Krug to age.

Decanter om: Champagne Vintage Brut in Geschenkpackung

Just at the beginning of its life, this powerful and structured wine is still a bit restrained, yet even at this stage there are exquisite aromas of ripe pear, marzipan and spice. Although the aromas are still not very expressive, the texture and feel on the palate give the impression of immense potential. There is plenty of extract and thrilling acidity, but always in perfect balance. As Cavil notes: 'This is a wine marked by verticality and intensity'. The wine was disgorged with an extra-brut dosage in the summer of 2020. This will live for 50 years at least.

Wine Spectator om: Champagne Vintage Brut in Geschenkpackung

There's a supernova of sensation with each sip of this powerful 2008 Champagne, starting with the vivid streak of mouthwatering acidity that drives a rich panoply of flavor across the palate. Notes of ripe black currant, Mandarin orange peel and grilled nut are accented by hints of candied ginger, briny oyster shell, verbena and ground cardamom spice. This burns bright from start to finish, yet its fine integration and lovely, raw silk-like mousse pull it all together into a seamless, vibrant package. Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay. Disgorged Autumn 2019. Drink now through 2038.

Krug Champagne står for regionens kvalitetsspydspids som næppe noget andet hus. Rent håndlavet, meget små mængder, altid ekstremt sjældne. Denne anerkendte, boutique-lignende fabrik i Reims producerer helt fantastiske ting.
