Recent TNs: Krug 164, Harmand Geoffroy

Krug 164

From 750

I haven’t had this for about 6 months. I think it’s starting to close down a touch; needed about an hour to really come around. Laser like acidity with a bit of reticence in the fruit. Exudes class and elegance. Immense potential. 168 is more enjoyable at present, at least on pnp.

2015 Harmand Geoffroy Gevrey-Chambertin

Fresh, with wild, but elegant dark fruits and bramble. Fantastic and generous.

thanks for the data points.

Yeah I think all of the 08s are starting to shut down; time to put away for a few years.

I think you are right - a lot are shutting down or shut down.

Luckily if you like young Champagne, there is a lot to like from 09 and the 12-16 stretch.

(As with the 164 around release, I was surprised by how much I liked the 168. Not being a big Krug fan.)
