TAITTINGER COMTES BLANC DE BLANC 2011 GIFT VAP sku_2315419 The spicy finish reveals hintsFor a recently disgorged vintage of Comtes the aromatics are surprisingly generous, lots of bright rich lemon, ripe apple and tropical notes like pineapple and yellow plum.

It finishes elegant and light with a twist of saline. This doesnt have the density of 2008, though
