Tasting Comments
Krug 2013 “Exalted Citrus” expresses the aromatic richness of citrus shaped by a cool, rainy year and an autumnal harvest.
Initially reserved, the nose opens to candied citrus alongside toasted almonds, honey, meringue, nougatine, and quince paste.
On the palate, it is straightforward and precise, revealing citrus in all its forms with great length and intensity.
After at least 12 years in Krug’s cellars, the wine shows both structure and elegance, with the potential to gain further complexity over time.
