Community Tasting Note

• sdr Likes this wine: 92 points

  January 28, 2020 - The ‘08 Cristal is arguably the best vintage of the 21st century for drinking today. Luxurious, ripe but not sweet, fruity and elegant. More complex and interesting than the others this century which remain surprisingly backward in Cristal terms. Plenty of room to grow and already delicious.
