The score for 2005 Louis Roederer Cristal Brut Millesime Champagne is 93 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The 2005 Cristal is drinking very well, and it stands out as a fine effort in this challenging year for Champagne. Offering up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, nectarine, freshly baked bread and subtle hints of honeycomb, it's medium to full-bodied, elegantly fleshy and incisive, with racy acids and a pearly mousse, concluding with a long, chalky finish. Additional scores for the wine in this lot - James Suckling 99 points , Gilbert & GaillarDecanter 99 points , John Gilman's View from the Cellar 97 points , Wine Enthusiast 97 points .
