Narrative:

Altitude deviation. Autoplt did not intercept preselected altitude. Pilot received visual aural alert and simultaneously caught deviation at +260 ft, ie, FL332.6. Aircraft climb momentum caused ascent to FL333 and immediately descended to FL330. Controller called, advised '300 ft high' and asked altitude. We responded FL330, which was correct by time of call.
