Lot Details
Description
Bollinger Grande Année 1996
Levels above foil
70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay. Wonderful intense, "iodé", concentrated nose. Terrific full, "grand" taste. Very orangey. Briary, keen and deep. A huge-flavoured, extremely winey Bolly. The acidity ensures a very long life. Landmark year for those who like to cellar their Bollinger - in this case, for decades if they wish. Mineral, "salty" finish that is signature. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
