Although overshadowed by the 1996 in general, at a recent side-by-side tasting the Krug 1995 was the better aligned and more perfectly aged of the two vintages. It shows a deep maturity yet still plenty of detail in dried apple, pine, pot pourri and musky complexity. There's a mellow and rather soft character on the palate, but with an enveloping, savoury and rewarding aromatic breadth and calm mousse. Perhaps the higher Chardonnay content here has injected a little dash of longevity and energy? Not in need of further cellaring, this generously spirited original release is peaking in expressiveness.
