    Louis Roederer Cristal was first produced in 1876 for Alexander II of Russia. Fearing an explosive could be hidden in the bottle, Alexander demanded a clear glass bottle and Cristal was born. Cristal is prized for its elegance and finesse and the 1996 vintage release is no exception; Richly perfumed, with hints of gingerbread, wild flowers & baked apples on the palate. So delicate and elegant yet full bodied.

    “A dazzling achievement in a tricky year. Emphatic punch of acidity has been moulded into electric energy and thrust, while keeping the saline vinosity. Life changing. Exceptional” 98 points Decanter 

    Note - the gifting box is lightly scuffed & soiled.
