No, but it seems the logical explanation. Sounds like you've got another!Are you sure that's the reason for the high scores?

it is a surprise (and refreshing) that more don't do it.
Hope it is not upright, that will take 10 points off itWell my £210 bottle of Krug '08 is still in the wine fridge. Might take one for the team...
And a further 2 if in the doorHope it is not upright, that will take 10 points off it
1 more for each time it's opened/closed.And a further 2 if in the door
oh, I don't know: it's pretty widespread now, especially among the bigger egos of the wine writing world, where both being quoted and being feted by the industry is most important. And that includes some in the UK...
Just catching up on this fascinating insight to the world of Krug Champagne. Its only something I've ever bought once (a pile of halves of the GC in Bottoms Up closing down sale many, many years ago). I've never tasted any of the single vineyard or single vintage wines they produce, and nothing in this discussion would entice me to go and buy some. To me the prices are way beyond my realm of justification (and even the wines I do buy, I often find hard to justify to non-wine geek friends).
I think I'll remain quite happy guddling around the shallow end of the pool and look forward to opening a magnum of Gaston-Chiquet's Reserve Blanc de Blancs d'Aÿ 2008 at a fraction of the Krug 2008's bottle price.

The excellent Madame Toussaint Mosnier? She does struggle with the Scottish language. Have you been recently? We were last there in 2019, the summer before the Covid spoilt things. It was Caroline's day off too so we missed her, but her reserve taster was Nicolas, so I suppose we weren't treated too badly.Caroline says hi….and can you speak English next time you see her.
Current mags of bdebd’Ay are 2012 btw….
I can only report the facts!Already? Although I do recall they were going to skip ‘10 and ‘11 in magnum.
It’s certainly good value for the 08 vs today’s “market price”…!As I was reading this, an offer for Krug 2008 “Les Creations” appeared in my mail box from the LVMH agent in Malaysia. It’s an OWC with a bottle of 164 and the 08. £405 equivalent delivered which appears to be relatively good value. I love the 164 and loaded up accordingly on release, but the 08 hasn’t moved me so will probably just buy a few
