2004 Bollinger Champagne La Grande Année

Monday, July 29, 2019 - The really evolved well. Give this an hour of air and it become a lovely champagne. Classic Bollinger oxidised notes makes you know immediately you are drinking a vintage wine that could pass for 25-30 years old. Big and heavy, but loads of complexity, especially honey and worked wonderfully well with aged gouda. I really enjoyed this, and preferred it to the 1990 and 1997 Grand Annee.

How do you compare the 2004 vintage to the 2005 if you have had it? The first bottle I tried from the 2005 had a sharp finish. Dave
