Great as always but I am going to age the other remaining for a couple of years, great mix of minerality , acid and cream mouthfeel. Get the lemon custard and some other white stone fruit — 2 months ago

Dark straw color suggesting a bit of oxidation. Pair and honey and a little mineral like flint. Delicious apple and pear with some subtle floral notes. I like the other reviewers notes on custard. Despite no malolactic fermentation there is a creaminess to the wine. Drink now based on this bottle though could be a cork issue. — 3 years ago

On the nose croissant and lemon custard, candied citrus, tick layers upon layers of golden brioche. Buttery hazelnut shows up too. The palate combines this with freshness, vibrancy and a zippy, super lengthy acidity that gives the weighty flavor a new perspective. Hadn’t tasted krug in many years, but damn it’s a revelation like the first time. Close to the 2022 P-H Rare but much more vibrant and lengthy — 5 years ago

Medium lemon color. Pronounced nose. Lemon custard, honey, quince, popcorn, Smokey. Medium+ acidity, high alcohol, medium+ body. The high alcohol and the lees mask the fruit and the resulting sensation is a lack of freshness. — 2 years ago

Second try of this … impressions somewhat different, though similar score.


NOSE: custard, almond…apricot…flan…French pastry. Canned peaches. Honeysuckle. Butterscotch - quite clearly.

TASTE: butterscotch and apricot. Tastes older than it is…though a little simple for a Sauternes. 91-92. — 3 years ago

The 2021 Cervaro della Sala comes to life in the glass with crushed stones, oyster shells and damp earth evolving into lemon oil, green apple and hints of chamomile. This is pure elegance, with silky, verging on creamy textures and brilliant acidity. A salty staining of minerality adds tremendous depth to baked apple and spice notes. It finishes crunchy and long with a citrus tinge as touches of custard and nectarine slowly fade. This is a dramatic Cervaro della Sala that possesses amazing balance. It will be fascinating to watch it mature over the coming years. (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2023)
