Tom Stevenson: Very slightly deeper color than the 96. Gorgeous vanilla aroma, heavenly creamy-vanilla fruit on the palate, with a soft, silky mousse, and apricots and cream on the aftertaste. This is as sumptuous as Cristal gets—and more like wine than Champagne. (disgorged July 9, 2007; 11g/l dosage)
