Interesting chance to open a number of different Cristals. This really emphasised the winemaking change around the 2008 vintage and how much more precision modern Cristals have compared to the wines of 10-20 years ago

750ml bottle and magnum served side-by-side. Fascinating: the magnum showed much less dosage, much tighter and younger while the bottle was much more developed (to be expected) but also a lot sweeter (perhaps almost too much)? I preferred this to the '06 but felt it was a long way behind the 2012.
