Krug 1955 half bottle - 99 points on Cellar Tracker

Cellar tracker notes below

By John Kapon
New Year's Eve 2007, 1/2/2008 99 points

(Krug) The 1955 Krug I did not have the pleasure of tasting the night before, but none of that pleasure was deferred by having it 18 hours later! This turned out to be wine of the night, or at least next night! The nose was still delicious with amazing aromas of vanilla, apple and hazelnut. It was still sweet with a touch of varnish around its edges. It was a ‘wow’ wine, also delicious in the mouth, buttery, citrusy and rich, again Montrachet-like but more so than any other. Big Boy gave a speech about how ’55, not ’59, is the best vintage of that decade for Champagne. Oily and butterscotchy, it was so dense that it left a liquid sugar impression in the mouth. This was ‘serious stuff,’ and not even out of magnum

Note below taken from Luxury Insider magazine

Then there was the 1955 Krug. Medium gold with very gentle bubbles, it was concentrated and intense—giving layer after layer of flavor, taste and texture. It was gently foamy on entry, subsiding into a silky flow of buttery peach and baked apples with nutty toast, backed by an edge of lemon, and, again, that spine-tingling, life-giving acidity that made it so refreshing and long on the finish. Ethereal, heavenly and if push came to shove, I'd have to confess it as my favorite wine.
