  This was much more impressive than at my last tasting 5-6 years ago. This is now ready to drink and has started losing some gas (which is no big deal for me). A lot more complex than the first time, with a lovely "young golden" colour. The nose is fabulous and intense, with the house signature, and offers some complex aromas of candied apple, nuts, lemon peel, wood and custard. Perfectly balanced and very long. To my taste, this is ready to be enjoyed and I wouldn't recommend to wait much longer. Cheers!

  Light hue of vanilla, citrus, coconut, tropical fruit, quite light actually but large and profound. Somewhat but less typically sweet than usual with VVF. It should improve much with time as the beautiful acidity is there. 94

  Quite opulent, round and complete. There's a charming sweetness that makes this fun to sip on its own.

  Bollinger VVF 2004.
  Litt forsiktig på duft, men kommer seg litt etterhvert.
  Føler at utviklingen ikke har gått rett vei her.
  Tredje gang jeg smaker denne, og den blir dårligere hver gang.
  Moden på smak og mangler litt nerve.
  Frukten er ikke klokkeren heller.
  Konsentrasjonen er dog skikkelig svær.
  Svært lang med superb mineralitet.
  Kommer alltid til å takke ja hvis noen byr (😎), men kommer ikke jakte på disse selv. 92p med litt godvilje.
