Louis Roederer, Cristal Brut 1989

Last tasted from magnum in 2012. Absolutely extraordinary and created a huge frisson around the room of Champagne connoisseurs. Lime blossom and hazelnuts on the nose. Utter bliss on the palate, silky, icy and full of nougat notes. This is a brilliant creation of pure beauty, breathtaking in its wondrous balance of fruit and acidity. It lingered on the palate and it will forever linger in the memory. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
