  My first Crystallum from this vintage. Red berries with some strawberries/raspberries in it. But I find this much more concentrated than I can remember. And with a somewhat bitter after taste.
  
  Puts it on wait for a couple of hours and when I come back it's much softer. Some smokey notes have appeared. Now it's all that it use to be. 92-93. Give it a long decant or hold.

  Glass: Zalto Bdx
  Popped and poured - Drank over 2h.
  
  On the nose at first some earthy tones, fresh ground espresso. With some air developes into an inredibly fresh nose of ripe strawberries.
  
  Palate shows some grippy tannins, which will certainly soften with time.
  Very juicy taste of red fruit, savory, long finish.
  Will open the next bottle in a few years.
  92 - 93 pts
