March 26, 2024 - Some years ago now with friends and family for christmas. From a 3l bottle this was stunning. Still young looking colour, complex nose with the typical Bollinger barrel fermented nose. Warm vintage of 1997 does not show. Good acidity and very long.

January 27, 2024 - Beautiful yellow color , tiny bubbles.
25 years in the bottle which made it even more amazing how it tasted. Low dosage with 60-40 PN-CH. very nice. -

July 18, 2022 - Respekt was Bolli aus den weniger guten Jahren im rausholt. Liege ich in der Prognose häufig daneben. Wie auch hier. Für 1997 wieder. Am Start fühlte ich mich zunächst bestätigt - aber am Gaumen und mit Luft war das richtig richtig genialer Stoff.

July 15, 2022 - Champagne Evening (Beverly-Bietigheim): Glass: Zalto Universal
Tasted blind. Clear, deep golden color. Reductive, yeasty nose, some barn and leather. Not very appealing, got a bit better with air.
On the palate it really rocks! Wonderful tension and pressure! Fine, present mousseux, bone dry, salty. Beautiful balance and joyful to drink. Very long finish. Palate for sure 95-96, Nose at max 90, so for me this bottle was something around 93-94 -

April 24, 2022 - Añada madura, acidez y citricos. 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay. Burbuja integrada, goloso, evolucionado y listo para beber. Pasó bastante desaparcibido al lado de los otros dos monstruos.
