2004 Krug Clos de Mesnil Blanc de Blanc Brut Champagne Magnum

(97 points) Outer quote mark Evocative of a Bernini sculpture, this vibrant Champagne is equally about the statuesque frame of acidity and chalky underpinning as it is the finely honed details, including the silken texture, the aromas of lime blossom, saffron and incense, and the expressive, woven range of crème de cassis, ground espresso, kumquat, crystallized honey and toast point flavors. Long and focused, echoing the rich profile on the finish. *Collectibles* (AN) Inner quote mark (12/2018) Wine Spectator
