WTN: 1988 Krug

1988 Krug Champagne Vintage Brut - France, Champagne (8/15/2015)
Holy mother of God is this good. The aromas and flavor are beautiful, but that is not the best part of the wine. The palate weight, the depth of complexity and the unbelievable length are what set this wine apart from every other Champagne I have ever had. Seriously, this is one of those singular wine experiences that it will be hard to shake. It will diminish other Champagnes I drink for a very long time. Stunning wine. Absolutely stunning.

Krug is amazing. I've never had a glass, young or old, that didn't awe me. I envy you that experience!

Alas! I guess envy is as close as I'll probably ever get to that wine. WS Pro says it's $443-520 in France, $525-800 in the US.

Kind of scary, given that it was about $125 when it was released. Still a splurge, but not a crazy one.
