Description

Taittinger, Comtes de Champagne, Blanc de Blancs 1990 

Levels into the neck, 3 individual coffrets

(Disgorged in 2012.) In 2014 and from magnum, a really "warm boulangerie" nose that is very winning. Silky smooth on the palate, with notes of vanillin, clementines and flowers. All elegance and seduction. A highly successful wine and a total thoroughbred. Caresses the inside of the mouth in a delightful way. Serena Sutcliffe, MW Disgorged and tasted in 2014 from magnum, a wonderful classy, reductive/bready nose. Really good origin vineyards in here. Superb hazelnutty/biscuit taste. Finesse of texture and elegance. Such glorious freshness and brightness. Utterly more-ish. So beautifully composed, with such harmony. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
