I enjoyed each and every one of the wines for one reason or another. The NV estate was a great value, the L'Ermitage had awesome acidity and bright fruits, and then the Champagnes were all excellent. Public baller image aside, Cristal really is an absolutely incredible bottle.
Cristal is a seriously good bottle of wine, but the the thing with all of those prestige tete de cuvees is that they are made in absolutely MASSIVE quantities. i can see paying huge money for a single-vineyard burgundy when there were like 350 cases made. but when they're making THAT much (and it's NV to boot), it just seems wrong.
