Estimate
...a powerful, structured Cristal layered with considerable fruit. This is a serious, painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience...a super-impressive, complete Cristal.
... Wonderfully dense, meaty champagne with quite staggering persistence. More savoury than sweet although there's a certain creaminess to the texture. A very glamorous, sumptuous wine indeed...
Taut, linear lemon and orange rind flavors give way to deeper pear in the mid-palate and pick up notes of honeysuckle and toasted grain with air....shows excellent promise. Finishes with good mineral cut and sappy persistence.
Floral, citrus and spice aromas and flavors are at the forefront of this filigree, delicate Champagne. This is harmonious and welldefined, with a long aftertaste of roasted nut and toast. Very dry.
