1988 was the first in a trio of brilliant vintages, but also the first vintage where Taittinger started to re-use oak barrels. The colour is the most evolved of the trio and this is also reflected on the nose. Soft sweet caramel comes to mind, with sweet vanilla, coconut and spicy gingerbread. The oily-textured palate opens up to a pristine acidity, with seashell minerality and a touch of mint. It is starting showing development too, with a bruised apple character, although it's still full of life and energy. Drinking well now.
