The 1998 Brut Vintage is a gorgeous wine for near-term drinking, Warm, toasty notes lead to an expansive core of fruit that covers the palate. This isn’t the most complex Krug Vintage, but it also won’t take years or decades to offer its finest drinking. Score: 94 Antonio Galloni, Wine Advocate Maturity: 2010-2020 |

Shows gorgeous lemon, peach, toast, leather and spice aromas. The attack is rich and forceful, backed by a racy structure that keeps this pure and drives the finish. Perhaps not as expansive on the aftertaste to match the attack, but long nonetheless, with spice and mineral notes lingering. Still needs time. Best from 2012 through 2035. Score: 96 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2012-2035 |

This was the vintage for which the Krugs wisely delayed release until after the more luscious1989. Still quite tight and fim. The ultimate straight-backed champagne. (17.5+ Points) Score: 17 - 18 Jancis Robinson MW, Jancisrobinson.com Maturity: 2010-2025 |

Bright true gold with a brisk bead. Deeply concentrated honey, pear skin, orange peel, peach pit, botanical herb and floral aromas are brightened by smoky minerals. Chewy citrus and pit fruit flavors stain the palate and are given a youthfully tangy edge by nervy acidity, gaining strength with air. Finishes with powerful grip and resounding echoes of honey and citrus pith. A serious, painfully young wine that needs patience; I wouldn't go near it for at least another six or seven years. Score: 94 Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar |
