Taittinger, Comtes Champagne Rose other_regionsThe 2005 Comtes de Champagne Ros is a wine of contrasts. At first rich and vinous on the palate, the 2005 turns more delicate with time in the glass as its silkier and floral qualities become more evident. Sweet red berry and spice notes linger on the delicate finish. Antonio Galloni

spice and discreet wood nuances

spice and candied orange peel

(88-91)/2017+

This will require at least 15 years to be at its best and 20 would not surprise me

which is unusual for this wine that has often been more bombastic

more volume and it's quite open and expressive

and this is a wine with more fruitLa Poza behaves better in cooler years like 2013

The 2016 Trotte Vieille is blessed with a finely tuned bouquet of brambly red berry fruit

it has some grainy tannins

youthfully austere and built-to-age finish that just goes on and on

While La Tâche is almost by definition a superbly elegant wine there is also always an inner core of muscle
