From the first year of the Vinotèque programme, the bottle tasted of this classic, balanced vintage for Cristal was disgorged in 2010 after a period of lees ageing that included six years of 'poignetage', or shaking. It's a perfumed, charming Cristal more marked by Chardonnay glide and delicacy than many, with sweet orange citrus fruit, white peach and sweet-sour cooked apricots sitting under a delicious aromatic ageing complexity which throws up everything from Turkish delight to apricot kernel, sweet hazelnuts and milk chocolate. This is a complete, serene wine built more on beautiful fruit and ageing complexity than the salinity and tension of modern Cristal, although it has aged with beautiful integrity.
