Krug Rose - Edition 26 brut in Geschenkverpackung

Decanter.com – 96 pts – TH: *An exotic, bright and freshly crushed raspberry nose, which persists. Icing sugar and cracked cashews. A gorgeous cascade of stewed fruits, spice and rhubarb in the mouth. An exhilarating and fine wine. A fruit lolly note, but refined and smokily luxurious too. Red wine from different plots in Aÿ, Bouzy and Mareuil-sur-Ay. The rosés are selected from more mature fruit and therefore need fewer components to express the priority of pure berry intensity. Candy and sweet notes on the end. Main harvest: 2014. 35% reserves. Aged for almost seven years on lees. 11% red wine used in the blend. Disgorged: Early 2021.* - 04/2022

Falstaff.com - 97 pts - AK: *A deep copper hue on the eye leads onto a subtle nose that opens with a hint of rose petal and rosehip tisane, supported and transported by a lemony lift. There is a sense of zesty brightness and a note of finely ground white pepper comes through before it lifts into a serene sense of pink grapefruit. The palate has all the verve and freshness one could wish for, almost electric. This is incisive and precise, flirting shyly and still closed but giving away just enough of its undoubted depth and a sense of glorious, peppery savouriness. Long, peppery, serene, incisive. A dream as well as a promise for the future.* - 04/2022

Vinum Magazin – 18,5/20 pts: *So zurückhaltendes wie komplexes, einmaliges Bukett mit Reifenoten, (Kakao, Steinpilz, sogar ein Hauch Trüffel) aber auch Akzente frischer Waldbeeren; cremiger Auftakt, besondere Fruchtigkeit, aber auch beeindruckende Mineralität in der Entwicklung, Rasse und Charakter; gehört zu den beeindruckendsten Interpretationen dieser ganz besonderen Cuvée, kann lange reifen.* - 12/2022
