Tasted best after a few hours of air and a warmer temp (~60-65F).
Fresh citrus aromatics surge forth from the glass after some swirling. With more swirling, you start to get hints of the rich, concentrated fruits you will enjoy on the palate.
The palate hits hard with rich stoned fruit sweetness, and fresh, juicy citrus acidity. It had an enjoyable finish of sweet lime whipped cream with a mint leaf on top. The whole package delivers rich decadence in a light package - I could easily drink the whole bottle myself if everyone else let me.
I envy those who bought this at the original release price.

Moderate golden in the glass. Nose is closed at first, but with a bit of air and warmth, it just explodes across the board. Notes of baked pineapple, baked nectarine, green apple, brioche, marzipan, molasses. Dessert-like. The palate delivers a very elegant and precise drink, with everything in perfect check. Somewhat young, but very approachable. Decades of life ahead, this will go to the stratosphere.

The 2008 Comtes is simply going from strength to strength. The most ready rendition I’ve had, full of brioche, lemon curd, toasted almond, honey, and marzipan. Super giving on both the nose and palate, and will probably stay like this for a long time to come.

OMG...!
Bottle was opened several hours before tasting.
The wine is already so unbelievably tasty and juicy and creamy and harmoniuos... Breathtaking.
Destined for a perfect score in a few years' time.

similar to my last tasting note. I have to stop drinking these!!! They need 10 more years and this may one of the greatest of all time! I think this may be better than the 2008 Krug and Cristal. This will be epic if you can wait until 2030 or beyond. This is special
