Taittinger - Champagner Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs 1989

97 DECANTER: "1989 was blessed with the ideal growing season - a hot and dry summer with plenty of sunshine. Despite being a forward and fleshy vintage, this bottle has the least developed colour of all. The nose is surprisingly restrained, with smoky hints in harmony with grilled hazelnut notes. The palate is still young and shy, and it’s just waiting to explode. It has precision and depth with great energy, supported by an acidity-driven finish and seashell minerality."
