April 8, 2024 - Some struck match to the aroma. Lightly toasty. Sweet peach fruit and plenty of spice. Full and frothy. Fresh and very long.

March 22, 2024 - Guys night - course meal (Kevin and Vicki's house): Drank a small glass over 45 minutes. This is as good as Cristal ever has been, super creamy, almond, brioche, energetic, great!

March 14, 2024 - PnP - Very nice Cristal! Typical fine mousse and creamy mouthfeel I always associate with Cristal. Nose showed brioche and straw, and palate showed lots of golden fruit, toast, some almond and stone fruit, coupled with minerality (saline and limestone). Very nice Champagne! 96 to 96+ for me.

March 14, 2024 - Guy's Night: Variety Pack (Rocknroller's (Kevin & Vicki's Place)): Light gold color. Drank a glass over 45 minutes. This has a gorgeous confectionery nose, filled with almond paste, dulce de leche, nougat, ocean air, green apple and green orchard fruits with subtle mineral notes. The palate is full bodied showing bright golden orchard fruits, almond cream, brioche, stone, spice, apricot tart, toasted almonds, and a very subtle oxidative note. This was showing excellent complexity and depth. Lovely. 95+ to 96pts.
