It is always fascinating to re-discover vintages of Cristal that have been left to mature in the cellars after being disgorged. Now 9 years post-disgorgement, this Cristal has taken on a whole new dimension and the finish is reminiscent of a fine white from Burgundy.The 2002 was magnificent when it was first released. Since then, it has only grown in breeding. In this vintage, Cristal is silky, sensual and open-knit, with enveloping fruit and striking textural resonance.
