An amazingly complex nose. Makes you wonder if you are having a wine that’s 20 years older than its age. Chalky. Great salinity. Lives upto its reputation.

not blind, Magnum We had two magnums in a row. Still Wow. 20 years ahead. Elegant, some raspberry, discreet fruit elements. Great acidity structure. 97-98
Tete de Cuvee Rose Tasting (Brookhaven, GA): Pale peach; intense nose, driven, serious, not much red fruit here, marzipan, nutty, wild strawberry, focused and so delicious, beautiful floral notes, intoxicatingly good; was hopeful Goisses would be the standout but no- tried and true Cristal is a stunner this vintage.

Salmon pink with a tint of orange. Grapefruit, brioche, yeasty and very open for business. This is a very layered rose with a ton of body and depth, finishes fine and saline. While young Cristal whites are a little too cutting for me, the rose seems quite ready and expressive right now.
