Louis Roederer Cristal Rose Vinotheque 2004

Cristal Vinothèque is the culmination of Louis Roederer's know-how. Twenty years of careful attention and unique winemaking techniques result in a limited number of Cristal bottles produced only in the most outstanding vintages for their sophistication and elegance.

Cristal Vinothèque offers exceptional freshness and the promise of eternal youth. It is the result of 20 years of aging in three successive stages.

97 Points - James Suckling

The complexity of chocolate, toasted almonds, praline, burnt toffee, mushrooms and earth here is stunning. There’s a beautiful, spiced cherry-biscuit edge, too. The palate has a suave, supple and silky feel with such fleshy depth and drive. So melted together in flavors, so succulently textural and full of dried-strawberry flavor. Long with plenty of time ahead. Disgorged in 2014 after seven years sur latte and seven years sur pointe. Drink or hold.
