  Pearl of Burgundy Gala Dinner 2024 (Four Seasons Hotel): Impression. Beautiful nose, honey, love the texture and the palate.

  Pearl of Burgundy gala dinner: Rich and oxidative with nutty, autolytic notes. Not the biggest fan - didn’t have much tension but others at the table liked this a lot. To be fair, not as oxidised as I expected a Bollinger this age to have been.

  This was really at its apex or perhaps on the back side beginning to decline. Minimal psscht on pulling the cork. Still some bubbles in the glass once poured. It wasn’t too fragile, I just don’t think there’s a thing to be gained by holding. Lots of cinnamon stick, caramelized sugar, still fairly vibrant acidity. Not a lot of mushroom here. This was very nice with a hamachi crudo

  I went into drinking this, concerned that this was over the hill - I was wrong (or at least, couldn’t tell). Drinking this, with effectively 24 years of age, was magical. Notes of brioche, pear and almond dominated the nose. On the palette, more pear, some apple, faint lemon, more dominant brioche and almond, and a hint of butter on the finish. Amazing. That said, I'm likely drinking my last remaining bottle of this vintage in the coming year (2022).

  Matured complex, perfect cheese wine in the New Years evening
