Robert Parker: 97

Robert Parker: Krug’s superb 2006 Brut, which will be released this year, numbers among the vintage’s high points, unfurling in the glass with a complex and expressive bouquet of tarte tatin, warm biscuits, ginger, honeycomb, dried white flowers, smoke and toasted nuts. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, broad and textural, with a fleshy attack that reflects the warm vintage but segues into a beautifully vibrant palate that’s deep and surprisingly reserved, displaying superb definition, delicately chalky structure and a long, lively finish. While this is a powerful vintage Krug, it’s also beautifully balanced and will give immense pleasure for decades.

The expression of the year 2006 captured by Krug: Capricious Indulgence.
– Krug 2006 reveals the surprising story of a capricious climate with extraordinary results. This Champagne caresses the palate while expanding until a long and elegant finish completes the experience.
– As with all Krug Champagnes, Krug 2006 will continue to gain with the passage of time.
– The full story of every bottle is revealed via its Krug iD, the six digits on the back label.
