Paillard NPU and Krug

Dinner at T+T in Taipei.

1995 Bruno Paillard Nec Plus Ultra, dégorgée octobre 2006, bouteille 6,252/9,393 - nice nose of salted plum, definitely very savory. Beautiful and a little nutty. More savory almost an hour after opening but this warmed up a little so it was slightly bitter on the palate. About 1 hour and 45 minutes later this was more elegant, and more than 2 hours after opening there was a bit more toast on the nose and lots of marmalade. A little sweet and ripe on the palate, along with lots of savory minerals. Drinking so beautifully.

Krug Grande Cuvée, 170ème Édition, ID 221035 - very fresh with lots of mousse. Pretty floral, good amount of acidity that was above average but acceptable. Later on showing savory minerals. Around 2½ hours later there was a lot of toast that showed up.
