Bollinger La Grande Année Brut Champagne Blend 2005
Powerful, complex, and showy now; built to improve. "A powerful, structured and graceful 2005, showing deft integration of the rich, chalky underpinning, firm acidity and expansive flavors of crushed black currant, spring blossom, toasted almond, crystallized honey and preserved lemon. Offers a fine, raw silk—like mousse and a long, spiced finish." WS 94

Bond. James Bond. Well not really but amazing Pinot driven bubbles. Works amazing with the food here from seafood to mole. Most recommended

A bit of a let down to be honest, was expecting more complexity but came across as being a little one dimensional.

Medium Gold. Superb notes of warm brioche, yeast and almost sherry like notes on the nose. The Bollinger 2005 on Etihad first class en route Singapore.

I think this has quickly become one of my favorite champagnes out there. Honey nut Cheerios, caramelized sugar, apple compote, beautiful long-lasting spiced finish.

Big, rich and opulent. Low acidity. Would need more energy.
