My favorite Taittinger so far. It has a clean, crisp taste; it's a well-structured champagne I could drink for days.

Delicate Barbaresco that gains some strength with air. Red cherry aromas that turn floral with time, this is far from a blockbuster, but it is elegant. — 12 years ago

Stuck in between banner vintages (2000 & 2005), 2003 is a great year to find "value" in Bordeaux. With the rise of the Far East's middle class, "Super Second" classified French reds sell for over $100 per bottle. (And 2 to 3 times that for the exceptional 2009 & 2010 vintages). So for my 2013 birthday, why not open a 10 year old Paulliac? 1st, this requires patience. After decanting, the glass needs time to develop. It's been 45 min and finally starting to exhibit it's elegance. Smooth, balanced, caressing ... You can almost taste the centuries of expertise. When I started getting into drinking wine, I was vain in thinking "French wines, can they be that good?" Yes, they are but not at any price! Don't just take out a mortgage to buy anything; research and try 2nd labels of vineyards. This wine is brilliant, but I still prefer Chateau Leoville Las Cases as my favorite 2003 Bordeaux. A very happy Cheers! — 13 years ago

So much 🐴🍂✏️🚬 ! Nice to have an "off vintage" in pristine condition. Far from a blockbuster but delicious, soft, and very easy to drink. #birthyear — 11 years ago

Bought a case originally at $22/bottle. Still have 5 left. Knock on wood, not a bad bottle so far! — 13 years ago

Far from my best ever CSS but possibly infanticide...all the elements of a 95+ wine unfairly opened before its time. — 11 years ago

There is nothing to compare the history nor the unbelievable taste of the the Dom!!! By far one of my all time favorite bottles of true Champagne. — 14 years ago
