Critic tasting note: (1996 vintage) "Light greenish-yellow, golden shimmers, very lively, fine mousse. Alluring bouquet with nuances of honeydew melon, white tropical fruit, a floral touch like Scotch broom, notes of fresh pear, mineral, multi-faceted bouquet. Composed, elegant, ripe peach-pineapple nuances, elegant structure, saline, delicate nuances of roasted nutty aromas, a subtle honey touch on the finish. Seems immensely youthful, with further potential for maturation, a perfect, distinguishable Cristal from top to toe." - 100/100, Falsta
