Jazzy and brisk, with a front end that hurriedly sprints to the attack with crunchy and crisp green apple and yellow pear skin flavors that surge energy. The initial electricity is complimented by…
Similar to the most recent bottle of 168 I had where I found there to be more freshness and energy than some of the previous heavier and oxidative iterations (looking at you 165 and 166!), this 169…
A brighter showing than the last few bottles I've had - which I appreciate. Still, there is that slight oxidative characteristic that is indicative of all things Krug. Some love Krug for that exact…
