95 points Wine Spectator: "A smoky, intense wine, with layer upon layer of coffee, roast nut, golden piecrust, ripe apple, honey and spice flavors. The richness is balanced by a focused freshness, perfectly poised like a high diver about to jump, standing above the crowd and showing the interplay of power and control in an elegant package.

the Krug Grande Cuvée, a blending of old and young into a layered, toasty, nutty, subtly ripe apple aroma with hints of French Roast all tied to a refined yet fully charged set of bubbles. Rich, creamy, almost fleshy for the breed, this latest version is both a dream come true for lovers of aged Champagne and a challenge for folks who prefer a lighter, brisker, more citrusy style." 95 points Wine Enthusiast: "Resplendent in its new shiny gold label, Krug is a majestic Champagne.
