Although non-vintage (or perhaps more correctly multi-vintage) the six-digit code on the rear label entered at the Krug site give all the details. This wine coded 413073 says this bottle aged at least 7 years after receiving its cork in  2013. This bottle belongs to the 162ème Édition, a blend of 142 wines 11 different years. The youngest dates back to 2006 and the oldest to 1990. it was blended in 2006 from 44% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay and 21% Meunier. And it was delicious.
