Lots of acidity as well as maturity. Some honey notes as well as real savour. Sleek and amazingly long. Gorgeous and fresh.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
The 1988 is a strapping, powerful Cristal. Ripe tropical fruit, butter, spices and smoke are some of the nuances that emerge from this energetic, focused Champagne. This is a rather monolithic Cristal that lacks the elegance of the finest vintages. The 1988 Cristal is unique in that it is the only vintage in which Chardonnay, at 55%, plays the dominant role in the blend.

Intriguing and complex, with enticing aromas of fig, butter and toast, backed by mouth-filling flavors of pear, cream and apple. Long on the finish, too. Gorgeous, refined and balanced.

In a glass, Roederer moves in a golden atmosphere, carrying little matter. First come youthful aromas of lemons and freshly cut white flowers. Then vanilla rises from the glass. Finally, with age, Roederer releases complex aromas of caramel and chocolate. Its true signature. The secret of these rich and complex aromas? It lies in the dosage liqueur, this precious nectar added directly to the Champagne bottles during their aging. Roederer's champagne liqueur comes exclusively from the finest wines of the house's vineyard, deliberately forgotten in oak barrels for four to ten years. Tasted pure and alone, these nectars could rival the greatest white Burgundies. On the palate, the connoisseur remains fascinated by this wine of great dancer with a nervous and slim body. A dream of superlative elegance, of brilliant celebration that will never end. In the rhythmic whirlwind of movement and dance. The imperial celebration resurrected. A twirling and enchanting waltz.
