The 2004 Brut Cristal has put on quite a bit of weight since I first tasted it earlier this year. It is a powerful, structured Cristal layered with considerable fruit. Chardonnay seems to play the leading role in 2004, at least today. Cristal is often accessible young, but that is far from the case here. This is a serious, painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience. Readers who are willing to spend some time with the wine today will find a super-impressive, complete Cristal. The 2004 Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2034.

比起我前些年“领衔”次喝的时候,2004年的路易王妃香槟口感已经很好了。是一款口感强劲,结构清晰且果味丰富的香槟。从今天开来,在2004年份中霞多丽似乎起了主导地位。水晶香槟被认为过于年轻,但事实却不是如此。需要耐心去等待,如果你花一些时间去等待这款酒,你会发现她是一款让你如此印象深刻的香槟。这款香槟由60%黑皮诺(Pinot Noir)和40%霞多丽(Chardonnay)酿造而成。建议饮用时间:2014年-2034年。
