2008 Louis Roederer Cristal

This champagne has medium lemon green colour. On nose it has pronounced noses of lemon candy, peach, red apple, limestone, very clean and precise. It is dry with medium soft acidity, medium alcohol and quite full bodied with creamy mouthfeel. On palate it give over medium intensity flavours of lemon, limestone, pear, red apple juice and touch of chalky. Fairly long length with lemon juice finish. (95) Fresh, precise, clean and good range of flavours, but greener than last time I tasted.

保持着一貫的清爽，精準風格。酒的強度及複雜性也很好。條理分明、口感豐盈，酒在口中的表現比香氣更清爽，與上一次喝的感覺不同。上一次生果的感覺比較成熟，但這次的並不一樣，很有趣，一支仍在發展中香檳，很期待下一次再喝的感覺。

(93) Ripe and rich fruit on palate.

CRISTAL近年的酒果味越來越趨向成熟果感似的，這酒亦不例外，攪到可以早喝一些，不知是不是一個好處。酒很可口，酸度比起已往的CRISTAL低了點，但亦醇了點。酒味的強度不及香氣，餘韻亦算長，不錯，亦很討好。

 同酒莊同水平的一同試，粉紅香檳給出了另一個風格。酒的強度及複雜性已經不用多說，酒的酸度足，而且有著這酒莊給我的印象那種尖削感。酒味因粉紅香檳關係多了紅果的特色，這特色在口中轉化多了一種微微的、像成熟紅酒的感覺，是另一種風味。很特別的品飲經驗。無得頂。

1996 Cristal Vinotheque

Medium lemon in colour with lemon attack and pronounced noses of honey, ripe apple, bread, mineral, steel and touch of caramel cream at the back. It is dry with over medium intensity but soft acidity, quite full bodied with medium alcohol and creamy mouthfeel. On palate, it gives quite intense flavours of honey, chalk, steel, red apple, mineral and trace of saline. Long length, very delicate and fine but concentrated in flavours. (96)

 優雅得來而有著強勁的酒味，直係一D都唔易㗎葉師傅。這酒的香氣由一倒酒已飄來，聞起來層次和強度鮮明，酒的酸度不太有著以前的尖削感，而是較柔順。酒味強、口感豐滿，很好喝。酒在口中仍有著其複雜性，餘韻長，一流的表現。是一枝難得的佳釀。

2006 Louis Roederer Cristal

這酒莊的酒好像越來越可以早些飲用似的，比起以前的年份，這酒十二年已經有這口感算快了。酒的礦物感很好，特別是在口中，餘韻亦不錯，好味，感覺仍清爽，只是複雜性不算太強，但也好飲的。

2006 Louis Roederer Cristal

Medium lemon green colour with quite high light and refreshing noses of lemon, white flower, honey, chalk, steel and touch of yeast, it is dry with fairly high acidity, medium alcohol and bodied with creamy mousse. On palate it gives quite high intensity flavours of lemon, chalk, wet stone and green apple. Longer than medium length with apple and lemon finish. (92) Bit lack of palate complexity

維持著清爽凡感的香檳。酒香出眾，強而複雜，泡沫亦綿綿的。 複雜性在口中不及酒香，餘韻亦算長，幾好飲。貫徹著中上水平的香檳，愛清爽口感的人會很喜歡的。
