Community Tasting Note

  • dream Likes this wine: 95 points

    July 3, 2017 - Deep golden color with plenty of fresh acidity combined with classic Bolli oxidized fruit. Simply great intensity here with rich, slightly sour and yeasty flavors along with notes of dried lemons, clove-like spices and perfume of sewer water. This is a fabulous Bolli champagne that has great complexity and tons of life ahead. Look, you have to like the Bolli style of oxidized, almost madeirized fruit and I do so to me this wine is magical tonight with caviar.
