Krug vintage or Krug NV? That has always been a question in my mind. So I decided to do a side by side comparison. With a difference of half a thousand HKD, I would still go for Krug 1998.

Krug 1998 versus Krug NV

Krug NV was young and powerful, citrus, with a lot of minerals. Yet, the minerals are slightly harsher than the Krug 1998.

Krug 1998 was slightly more elegant, less youthful, but still citrus. A better balance in general.

Both of them are still too young to consume.
