Cristal Brut Champagne

Better than 2008 right now but im sure that will change in 10 years

Scrumptious! A Champagne that you keep reaching back to your glass for. Still very young and fresh

Christmas Dinner Champagne pairing with Maine Lobster 🦞 Tail. 🍾🥂👍🏻👏🏻

Medium light lemon straw colour , very fine constant bubbles . Quite restrained and mineral on the nose , with some light toasty notes , white flowers , lemon oil . Quite closed . On the palate this is really quite intense and mineral , oyster shell , chalky , limestone hints . Some lemon pith and a lightly toasty with a saline hint , fresh acidity , long and detailed , refined and very balanced . Really young still , needs time to open and will be long lived . Better in 5- 10 years and will last well a further 5-10 years

There is a vibrancy you noticed right away with a fine bead of bubbles. It is quite youthful and a few years of aging will help the wine meld together a bit better. Drink it now if you need to as it won’t disappoint.

Oh boy, Derek!

First time drinking ‘14. RP 96, $360.

Sister-In-Laws BDAY 🍾Cheers👍🏻👏🏻

Decanted in the glass for 30 minutes, with bottle open during that time and later. The best wine experience so far. I tried it before on a tasting and was not impressed. Brioche, toast, citrus, apple and racing acidity were still present in my mouth after 2 minutes of taking a sip. I prefer to drink it the way I described at the beginning vs straight from the bottle that was standing in ice.
