austere and incredibly persistent finish

the wine continued showing the riper character and more Mediterranean profile of the vineyard

the Monvigliero will be slow to reveal itself

It will not improve further

Bollinger, La Grande Annee other_regions austere and incredibly persistent finishDisgorged January 2005. A deeper hue compared to the 1999, the nose with greater intensity, with delicate honeyed buttery tones, green apples, a little more mushroomy just in the background, great lift and gaining intensity in the glass. Quintessential Bollinger bouquet. The palate has a rich entry, very good ripeness with touches of clear honey, a touch of mango, melted butter, white flowers and much greater weight than the 1999. Superb definition
