Krug Rose Edition 28 in Giftbox

Already gorgeously aromatically expressive, playing notes of delicate raspberry leaf and rose petals alongside exoctic orange and grapefruit rind. There’s an inherent freshness here, long cascading lines of acidity banked by uplifting minty notes. What a sexy wine, one that teases sweetness against bitter fruit skin, like biting voraciously into a plump succulent cherry and savouring its fleeting, electrifying impact. I love the toothsome, tasty fruit profile. The blend is 62% from the 2016 vintage, with 38% of reserve wines dating back to 2010, and 10% of Pinot Noir red wine, made up of 32 separately vinified wines from six different years.
