With its warm notes, aromas of tart and candied fruit, toasted hazelnuts and Madagascar vanilla, Cristal 2012 perfects its aromatic tempo within a precise and perfectly-honed palate.

Scent and Flavor
COLOR
Golden yellow in colour with glistening gold tints.
NOSE
Rich and complex aromas with notes of zesty and candied fruit (lemon) mingled with pollen (white flowers), roasted hazelnut and Madagascar vanilla. After aeration, the bouquet develops rich notes of fresh pastries and smoky notes from bottle ageing.
PALATE
A delicious, concentrated and chalky palate. It shows incredible tension and perfectly honed aromatic precision. The attack is powerful, distinctive and concentrated and reveals a silky, mouth-coating texture, characteristic of the ripe Pinot noirs from the 2012 vintage.
FINISH
The finish is long and remarkably concentrated.
