An explosion of aromas, flavors and textures emerges from the 1989 Cristal Rosé... In this warm vintage the Pinot is especially evident in the wine’s intensity, color and sheer breadth. A Champagne of striking inner perfume and sweetness, the 1989 caresses the palate with stunning depth and seemingly endless resonance. Sweet floral and spice notes lead into the creamy, exquisitely beautiful finish. What a surprise and what a wine! Moreover, the 1989 appears to still be ascending. In this tasting, it is just riveting. It’s as simple as that... Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

@Joe Lucca said it best, on its own this wine is a knockout, against the 88 Cristal it is no comparison. Agree 100%. Lacked defined elements and seemed to muted and closed down.
