Sunday, January 8, 2006 - This is about as good as it gets. Beautiful mid-gold color with active but gentle stream of tiny bubbles. Intense aroma (in champagne terms) of caramel and vanilla with a hint of hazelnut and orange peel, most of which is detectable on the palate. Velvety texture, lovely finish. No deterioration after being opened for an hour and a half. Comtes is an excellent champagne when young, but an exquisite one when 18 years old.
