Unfortunately received a bottle with poor quality. Minimalist popping of the cork followed by no bubbles at all. In terms of taste, there are orange stone fruit, blood orange, plum, mineral and flint. However, everything drowns in the unpleasant taste of sloppiness and over maturity. Drank the bottle but it was not of good quality.

The nose is explosive on plum, orange peels, then came spices, tobacco and finally a smoky side which will gain momentum with aeration.
The palate is smooth, dense to perfection. Dominant plum at first, mixed with spices. The smoky side will dominate thereafter. Very generous material, the wine lives with aeration and unfolds a whole magnificent palette of aromas, all on a perfectly balanced frame with melted acidity. Final on freshness and dazzling length on smoky flavors.
Great bottle.

Wine Workshop: An evening with Cristal (Atera - 77 Worth Street in NYC): Some more of the darker red fruits again (I guess the 89 slightly different since it didn't have them). Nicely done. This reminded me a bit of the ocean - some saltiness to it and also a nice fresh style. Tasty.

A bit tired, not faulty. Toffee, milkchocolate but a bit short in the finish, fine bubbles, colourwiese still Young. 93

Game night. Light rose. Piercing, persistent and perfect acidity.
