Taittinger Collection 1986

Tasting Notes

Outrageously expensive artist-decorated bottles—with a gaudy plastic casing, according to some. The '86 is a house-typical, mature, voluptuous wine that has developed sensationally well. At a blind tasting the amazing Champagne collector Kennet Liberg wanted to prove to me how wrong I was with my earlier dismissal of this wine. He succeeded! Today the wine is nutty, creamy, sensual, and very rich.
