1996 Bollinger RD Champagne
I have drunk this a half dozen times in the last six months and it always amazes me. The Recently Disgorged Bolly is ultra rich with yeast and spice and bread. It’s tight and in reserve, but gives lots of lemon rind and apricot character as well. It’s full and very racy. Layered palate. An aftertaste that lasts for minutes. What a Champagne. 97 points. Find the wine.
