Both were superb

All whole clusters

the Monvigliero will be slow to reveal itself

but this is a super-impressive wine in every way

and eight single-vineyard wines claim this provenance

Bollinger, La Grande Annee other_regions Both were superbDisgorged January 2005. A deeper hue compared to the 1999, the nose with greater intensity, with delicate honeyed buttery tones, green apples, a little more mushroomy just in the background, great lift and gaining intensity in the glass. Quintessential Bollinger bouquet. The palate has a rich entry, very good ripeness with touches of clear honey, a touch of mango, melted butter, white flowers and much greater weight than the 1999.
