Pronounced nose intensity with notes of toast, lemon, chalk, mineral, lemon, red apple. My third tasting with the last in 2021. From my scores, it seem like 2006 is more ready to drink now.
The color of this Champagne is medium golden. On the nose there are extremely pronounced aromas of red apple, lemon zest, honey, almond, bread dough. The acidity is high. The body is medium. The flavors on the palate are similar to the nose with the same fantastic intensity. The finish is never ending. Just great!!! The first sip was surprisingly unbalanced. But with some air the Champagne opened. Love this Champagne! Glass I used: Josephine No 2. I compared this glass with Riedel Veritas Champagne. From the the Josephine No 2 the acidity was much better integrated.

Rather salty, dominant acidity. Not my favorite premium champagne.

I think people are right in saying the 06 Cristal is really good and now it drinks perfect. Long life in my view but wonderful balance right now
