Krug's 2013 will likely prove itself the finest release of this cuvée since the millenium. It's an exquisite example of the restraint of this cool, late-ripening year meeting beautiful fruit selection and patient ageing, yielding a wine full of pristine, crystal-clear and layered flavour. Starting with bright roasted lemon, grapefruit and citric bitters before richer apricot tart and nougat flavours creep in seamlessly, the whole package feels at once svelte, smooth, light-touch and saturated with flavour. It's bright in acidity and coiled-up potential, yet not unapproachably austere even on release. Just when you think it is done, the energy and finish ramps up again with impressive drive and complexity. This is a Krug vintage that feels timeless, bound to keep its integrity even as the flavour profile transforms over time.
