| It's amazing that there wasn't already a note on this one. - 1989 Krug Champagne - Champagne, Champagne, France (11/26/2004)
Medium gold color. Dry, very complex with minerals, toast and a creamy mouthfeel. Unmistakably Krug but lacks some body next to the 1988 and the 1990 releases. This is splitting hairs though when a wine is this good.
Signed, Krugista

| Would $135 be a good price on this wine? I obviously don't know Champagne very well but did see this bottle marked down from something much higher.... | | | |

| $135 would be a decent price for this wine just know that you can get the 88 or the 90 for about $30 more. | | | |

If you want a vintage Krug to drink now, then it is a great value (as the 88's and 90's shan't be peaking for some time to come). | | | |

| Minerals, butter lemongrass, poached pears, apples and some spice. A very round palate, medium plus intensity and medium acidity. Nose follows through. This vintage seems on the ageing fast track but will hold for another decade. 93pts | | | |
