1990 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut (With Box)

"A warm, wet spring with an episode of frost lowered potential yields, as did trouble at flowering. The growing season, however, was near-perfect, with sunny skies, mild temperatures, and just enough rain to keep the vines happy. The harvest began in the second week of September and delivered fruit with generous sugars but enough structure to age. The bottle tasted in May 2022 was extraordinarily fresh and youthful, with tropical and citrus fruit and an overlay of brioche and butter. A lively mousse, balanced acidity, and an impressive presence lead to a fine, subtle, lingering finish - a monumental vintage." - 96/100 Decanter
