Community Tasting Note

June 29, 2020 - One of my ATF NV champagnes, this is typical Bolly. So rich, creamy, and layered, with impeccable focus, delineation, and structure. Ripe apples, loquats, and brioche aromas are juxtaposed by freshness and vibrancy on the palate, where preserved lemons and slivers of gravelly minerality are buoyed by a constant flow of pinprick bubbles. Finishes with length, complexity, and sheer deliciousness.

But Bollinger NV has the ability to age so well that it retains its freshness for years after disgorgement. This bottle tasted really vibrant and fresh. Hope this helps.
