A fresh gem. I guessed Cristal Rose 2002. So fresh and elegant. Starting to reach his peak. I liked it from the first time having it 2015. 98-99 -

April 15, 2022 - Very similar experience to SDRs note from a few years back. So much freshness and there’s some secondary development. as a result that kiss of caramel sweetness shows up, which for me put it in a perfect spot. I don’t like my champagne older than this

March 6, 2022 - It’s mellowing but not fading and still my favorite vintage for pink Cris. Velvety mouth feel from thousands of tiny tiny bubbles. That gorgeous Cristal fragrance of raspberry and bright red cherry. Nice depth, creamy, so easy to swallow. How much longer can it keep the magic going?

August 3, 2019 - This is Cris Rosy at its best, bursting with juicy strawberry and red cherry fruit. Good mousse, deep salmon color, fragrant. Perfect acidity and balance. More concentrated that the usual delicate and polite Cristal style, especially in Rosé, where it can be hard to distinguish from the blanc. Just stunning.
