1989 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne

Tasting notes
The 1989 Comtes de Champagne is darker in color than the 1988 and also quite a bit more forward. Candied orange peel, spices and caramel suggest it is on a fairly quick path. Today the 1989 is most impressive for its generous texture and complete, developed personality. This won't make old bones, but it is delicious today.
