One More

Forgot this from Saturday night... the 1999 Louis Roederer Cristal is one of the most mind-boggling young Champagnes I've ever had. I am not usually a lover of young Cristal, but this was sharp - very full with some real richness and an incredible mid-palate that went on into a long and smooth finish. Lots of pear and toast, with just a little bit of yeastiness coming out - if you have a few bottles, hold them for at least 5 years, but I think this wine will still be getting better in 20....
