Cristal 2016 represents a return to purity and classicism for this cuve, even seen through the lens of 2016s ripe, generous opening. It is characteristically discreet in youth, cloaking its ripeness in long, chalky, stony energy. Gentle mandarin, pale apricot and raspberry fruit sit under slowly maturing notions of floral honey and tight, smoky charm. Theres an airy, flowing delicacy and persistence which lifts this cuve above some other expressions of this year. Its a hugely promising .
