TN: NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée (France, Champagne)

NV Krug Champagne Brut Grande Cuvée - France, Champagne (11/28/2019)
Our final pre-date code bottle was served with Thanksgiving dinner. We keep the table completely savory, so Champagne is a great accompaniment. This bottle dated back to last decade (my hand written note on the label said 2008), and it could have gone another decade at a minimum. Just barely showing toasty/biscuity notes, it had fresh apple fruit, and a touch of spice as well. Something buttery popped in after an hour or so, and the last glass showed a very suave richness. Fabulous bottle.

David,
I opened a .375 tonight for no reason at all. I’ll have to look at the bottle to see if there are any identifiers. It was beautiful and similar to your notes, plus some smokey pain grillé, hazenut, citrus and honey.
Cheers,
Warren

Sounds slightly more mature than our bottle, which makes sense given the format.
