| One of the champagnes in our "palate cleanser" session before the Freeman Caves Dinner.
- 1996 Bollinger Champagne R.D. Extra Brut - France, Champagne (2/9/2008)
Light gold in color; This champagne had complexity from the nose through the finish - brioche, spices and ginger on the nose with similar flavors along with marzipan and toast. Structurally a "big" wine with medium acidity and minerality present on the finish. Wonderful. This was tasted under challenging conditions but was really spectacular champagne in the Bollinger style. $$$ (94 pts.)
