Tom Stevenson: Absolutely nothing wrong with the future potential of this vintage, just that its slower evolution has resulted in a sluggishness of its fruit to evolve beyond a relatively simple plum-and-greengage phase at the moment. When the red fruits and toasty bottle-aged notes begin to take a grip, this will be a monumental Cristal. (disgorged February 21, 2008)
