Well past it’s prim, which is no surprise. 2012 was when they changed their style to garner the favor of certain critics unfortunately. Wagner was definitely not using as much Mega Purple in 12 but it comes through now. Last time I had this about 4 years ago it was much better but still nothing to write home about. — 4 days ago

Very earthy, mushrooms, some dried flowers and fruit. Was recommended by the producer to let it age for at least 4 more years… we were flying back from Paris with a 5 hour layover in DFW where it was 96F… wasn’t risking it so we opened it before coming home. Fun wine was better on day 2 opened up a bit more. — 2 months ago

And the 14 to finish off the vertical, couldn’t think of a better way to finish off our tour of Champagne Taittinger. Quite young compared to the 12 and 13. More aggressive mousse but lots of white pepper and biscuits. Lemon oil as well. — 2 months ago

More citrus, lemon oil, flint. Still a very fine mousse but not quite at the same level as the 12 — 2 months ago
