Ratings:

1983 Taittinger

Wine Spectator (May 1992): 94/100

“They don't get a whole lot better than this. Extremely flavorful and rich, packed with pear, hazelnut, toast and butter notes that linger on the finish. The powerful fruit flavor and firm acidity give it great strength on the palate.”

1988 Taittinger

Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate #96 (December 1994): 94/100

Pol Roger

Wine Spectator (December 1996): 90/100

Palmes d´Or

Wine Spectator (December 1998): 87/100

Dom Pérignon

Wine Spectator (November 2001): 89/100

Taittinger 1993

Stephen Tanzer, Vinous (November 1999): 94+/100

“Pale color. Knockout aromas of lime blossom, orange peel, minerals and cilantro. Almost painfully intense on entry, then rich and superconcentrated. Vibrant flavors of orange pith, lime and mint offer great thrust without any heaviness. Extraordinarily long for Champagne. A remarkable wine that may yet improve in bottle.”
