Cristal 2008

Austere and razor-edged, with lemon oil, wet limestone, white pepper and a cool-climate tension that defines the 2008 vintage. Persistent bead with an almost weightless lift through the mid-palate, where chalk, lemon curd and a whisper of brioche emerge in slow, deliberate layers. The finish carries extraordinary length and composure — nothing rushed, nothing wasted. Cristal stripped to its essence, and perhaps its finest hour. Drink 2025–2045.
