KRUG VINTAGE 1985

Estimate
US$4,000 - US$5,500
Price realised:
US$5,819
Beschreibung:

Krug Vintage 1985 Krug Vintage 1985 Champagne 6 scuffed labels An amazing, honied, briary bouquet of sheer, rich projection. Silky opulence, guava and orange, vanillin and gingerbread on the palate. Totally mouthfilling. At 23 years old, this has to be at its apogee - what more could there be? Fullness allied to freshness, cloves and hawthorn. In magnum, it is sheer splendour. Merci Krug. In 2011, there is more! Incredibly fresh, citrussy nose of extreme seduction. So succulent and so full of orangey fruit. Pure, fabulous youth. SS. Lot 289 9 bts (cn) per lot: USD 4000-5500 Few great wine collectors, even if they concentrate on red wines, bypass Krug Champagne. Its power and sheer vinosity appeal to a connoisseur of the greatest Bordeaux and Burgundy, and collectors have a tendency to preface their tastings and dinners with a glass of this majestic Reims "institution". Some go so far as to organise vertical tastings of Krug in its own right, recognising the unique properties of this Champagne in terms of development and maturity. SS. Quantity: 1
