Charles Krug

New vintages of Krug wines, these interest me since reading the Mondavi book and how Peter and Robert came to blows, literally.

Krug Sauv Blanc 06 a touch sweet, peachy? herbal not too grassy or tart.

Krug Merlot 2005 a touch hot and tannic, would have liked more fruit.

Krug Zin 2005 Briary nose but too much alcohol and tannin...maybe in a year or so.

Krug Cabernet Yountville Nice up front fruit and grip or texture. my favorite of the bunch

Generations 04 soft and supple. 60% cab with the rest made up of bordeaux varietals and a touch of syrah.
vanilla nose, juisy silky tannins.
