Bollinger Special Cuvee

Disgorged in the second half of 2019, the latest release of Bollingers NV Brut Special Cuvée is based on the 2015 vintage, complemented by around 60% reserve wines. The wine is still quite tightly wound after its recent disgorgement, opening in the glass with notes of crisp yellow orchard fruit, freshly baked bread, clear honey and orange peel, with little sign of the nuttiness to come with bottle age. On the palate, its medium to full-bodied, muscular and incipiently textural, with a deep core, ripe acids and a pinpoint mousse. This isnt the most incisive vintage of Special Cuvée, but its powerful and vinous and will have fine gastronomic potential with a little bottle age. 96 Points - Decanter
