BOLLINGER GRANDE ANNEE 1996 |

Bollinger Grande Année 1996 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, MW6 mags (cn)Estimates are per lot
