2007 Louis Roederer Cristal Millesime Brut (No Box)

"This actually took 20 minutes or so to get rolling with its elegant, pure and distinctly yeasty nose that combines notes of toasty green apple, Meyer lemon, floral and a whiff of brioche. There is a lovely sense of energy and intrinsic tension to the middle weight flavors thanks to the ultra-fine mousse before culminating in a clean, bright, highly complex and distinctly dry but not really austere finale that goes on and on. For my taste, this has arrived at its peak though it will hold for years to come." 95/100 - Burghound
