Heiner Lobenberg über:
Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

98
/100

Lobenberg: Die Edition 164 basiert auf dem heute schon legendären Champagner-Jahrgang 2008. Maximale Intensität gepaart mit wahnsinniger Frische und Stahligkeit. Die 2008er Grundweine versprechen den Champagnern aus und mit diesem Jahrgang ein voraussichtlich ewig langes Leben. Selbst heute noch sind viele unglaublich jung und engmaschig, brauchen viel mehr Zeit und Luft als die 2007er und 2009er, aber werden sie auf lange Sicht wohl ziemlich sicher übertreffen. Auch wenn die 164 schon einige Jahre unter Kork hat, kann und sollte man sich mit dem Öffnen gedulden. 98/100

Suckling über: Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

-- Suckling: A richness and intensity with pie crust, bread dough and toast with lots of dried fruits. Almost nutty, like buttered nuts. It's full and layered. A little heavy now but more for the table. Drink now. 98/100

Falstaff über: Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

-- Falstaff: Helles Gelbgold, silberfarbene Reflexe, sehr feines, gut anhaltendes Mousseux. Feiner Blütenhonig, Mandarinen, Kumquats, gelber Pfirsich, weißes Nugat, ungemein facettenreich und frisch. Komplex, saftig, feine Kernobstfrucht, lebendig und straff, ein Hauch von Biskuit und Mandeln im Abgang, mineralisch, feiner Limettentouch, bleibt sehr lange haften, großes Reifepotenzial, eine der besten Grand Cuvées ever, Potenzial für weitere Jahrzehnte. 98/100

Galloni über: Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

-- Galloni: A stellar Champagne, Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 164ème Édition, (2008 base vintage) is painfully tight. The 164 is a fabulous wine, but readers should not fall into the temptation of opening a bottle anytime soon. Crushed rocks, slate, mint, sage and white pepper lend striking aromatic brightness. The 164 is just as compelling as it has always been. Even so, it needs time to be at its very best. The 164 is a blend based on 2008, with reserve wines back to 1990. Krug ID: 316031. 97/100

Lisa Perrotti Brown über: Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

-- Lisa Perrotti Brown: Krug’s Grand Cuvee 164ème Edition is a blend of 127 different wines composed around the 2008 vintage with the oldest reserve wines from 1990. This barrel fermented blend of 48% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 17% Pinot Meunier presents opulent aromas of orange marmalade, dried apricots, apple tart, coffee, and butter croissant. The plush medium to full-bodied palate is bright and vivacious with notes of kumquat and preserved lemon intermingled with rich and light buttery puff pastry notes. Still young and lively, it finishes long with an attractive note of lemon zest. According to the Krug iD317025 the bottle tasted was disgorged in the third quarter of 2017 for release a year later in 2018. 97/100

Parker über: Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

-- Parker: Based on the 2008 vintage, Krug's NV Grande Cuvée 164ème Édition is really beginning to drink with some style, bursting from the glass with complex aromas of tangerine oil, crisp yellow apple, dried fruits, buttered toast, iodine and honeycomb, uniting attributes of youth and maturity, all wrapped up in Krug's signature toasty patina. Full-bodied, seamless and concentrated, with a fleshy core of fruit, racy acids and an envelopingly pillowy mousse, it's an intense, sapid wine that is emerging as one of the best 'young' renditions of Grande Cuvée for drinking today. 96/100

Decanter über: Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

-- Decanter: This is a thrilling Champagne of magnificent autolytic complexity on the nose with elements of spice, pastry, bread, and hazelnuts. Its freshness and liveliness on the palate - allied to a crystalline texture - are so vivid that they stir the emotions. An enthralling element of grilled toast stands out on a fleshy texture that leads the way to an eerily airy finish. A great classic that can be enjoyed now. Elaborated with 127 different wines from 11 vintages, the oldest of which dates back to 1990. 32% reserve wines. Dosage: 4.5g/L. 96/100

Wine Spectator über: Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

-- Wine Spectator: A seamless Champagne, with vibrant acidity and flavors of toasted almond, baked currant and golden raisin. Long and mouthwatering, with a finely detailed bead carrying the flavors to the lasting finish, with accents of spice, pastry cream and coffee. Disgorged spring 2016. Drink now through 2027. 96/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 Édition Brut

-- Jeb Dunnuck: Harmonious and supple, the NV Champagne Grande Cuvée 164 spans the vintages of 1998 through 2008 and has all the components of a truly great Grand Cuvée. Opening in the glass to notes of preserved Meyer lemon, white peach, almond croissant, and incense, on the palate the wine is custardy and rounded, with a gorgeous pillowy mousse. Full-bodied and long, all its structure works in concert, with nothing sticking out, and it has a flourish of white pepper spice on the finish. This is a truly stunning Champagne. Drink 2023-2040. 96/100
