Among different Champagne producers, I love Bollinger, Pol Roger, Jacques Selosse and Larmandier-Bernier very much.  However, Krug is still my top favorite.

I recently have a dinner with some of my friends at home drinking two bottles of Krug with some seafood.  The two Krug we drank are Krug Grande Cuvee NV and Krug 1998.

Both bottles were left in bottle for about an hour before drinking.  I personally Buy Brand Levitra Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed found that quality Champagne would show better after about an hour in bottle.  They are usually more perfumed and have a more creamy mousse.

We drank Krug Grande Cuvee NV first.  Upon pouring into the glass, its strong and complex perfume immediately blast out!  Buy erythromycin online This Krug NV is really very good.  It has excellent complexity and excellent concentration.  It has very Buy Plavix Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed strong autolytic flavour as well as floral and nutty flavours.  We really enjoyed this bottle very much.

After Krug Grande Cuvee NV, it’s time for Krug 1998.  While we are very excited about the explosive flavour of Grande Cuvee NV, Krug 1998 showed even stronger and more explosive flavour.  Comparing them side by side, the Krug Grande Cuvee NV smell was really over-shadowed by Krug 1998.

Comparing the two, I found Krug 1998 has better purity and less autolytic flavour than Krug Grande Cuvee NV.  Both showing very good floral and nutty flavour.  Krug 1998 showed very strong and marked lemon aftertaste.

In term of quality, I think Krug 1998 is of better quality than Grande Cuvee NV.  However, I think Krug 1998 is still very young and will improve quite a lot with more ageing.  At this time, I would rather drink Krug Grande Cuvee NV and keep Krug 1998 for more ageing.
