The 1964 Krug Private Cuvée, which was renamed Grande Cuvée from 1978, is still vibrant and engaging on the nose, with scents of lemon rind and baked bread, followed by a light metallic note akin to antique cutlery rather than stainless steel. It has wonderful definition and potency. The palate is a different story. Surprisingly malic on the entry, it is dominated by a sharp – verging on shrill – bead of acidity that I feel compromises the finish. That’s a pity as the entry is irresistible with its subtle hazelnut and loamy tones. Don’t get me wrong - I loved this Krug and it deserves applause since it showed little sign of age and yet…curiously, it left me wanting more.
