"The 2005 Cristal Rosé is quite typical in its very pale salmon color. The wine offers up a simply superb and refined nose of peach, gentle melon tones, stony limestone, bread dough, orange peel, smoky overtones, bread dough and dried flowers. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and youthfully bracing, with a rock solid core of fruit, great mineral drive, refined mousse and outstanding focus and cut on the exquisitely balanced and youthfully tensile finish. This is a superb wine that is built to age and really should not be touched for at least another three or four years. Its true apogee will be around age twenty."
