February 24, 2024 - Surprisingly still youthful for 1999 vintage. It still have a long life ahead and at its peak. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of ripe lemon, yeast, bread, toast. High acidity.

November 3, 2023 - Soo's birthday: More linear and tensile than the ‘98, in line with what I usually expect from Comtes. Nice saline drive, very good for an unheralded vintage. Still very youthful and fresh but a slight step below the stunning 1998.

October 8, 2023 - aromas of pralines, sweet citrus and pears, honey, toasty pastry... smooth and easy on the palate, generous and plush, mature and gracious... this is in a great spot and feels younger than 24 years, it will surely drink well for another 5, perhaps 10+ years

July 21, 2023 - Taittingers Comtes blanc night (Noize, London): Incredibly, painfully young - transparent in colour, tasting more youthful than even the most recent release (2012) alongside it. But missing the development and depth of fruit you'd hope for in a wine at this age.
I'm not sure it'll be great Comtes, but it will certainly last another 10-20 years so hopefully the tertiary aromas give this wine an extra level of interest.1 person found this helpful Comment
