Community Tasting Note

Sunday, June 16, 2013 - As you would expect, this is more still than sparkling. The colour reminded of my kids' "apple iced tea", which was somewhat surprising to me, but then quite characteristic of Bollinger's of the time. It drank older than it is, perhaps I would have given it another 20y if tasted blind. No bubbles left. Perhaps provenance had not been ideal for this bottle, as there was an international strip label on it (I drank it in Asia). But expectations set aside (actually I had none), the wine was quite lovely, and the bottle opened up during the 60 minutes we were able to keep it in our glasses. Oily, toasted, light apricots. I am not a Bollinger fan generally, so am probably a lot harsher than most.
