1990 BOLLINGER R.D Extra Brut 1990

(07-2011) This was the first vintage shown in Paris that had not been shown in London a year earlier. What an extraordinary wine! Very deep gold. Very exotic nose of heady tropical fruits and flowers. Sweet candied orange peel nose and remarkably low acidity on the palate. Very charming now – suddenly into a wine on its plateau or even perhaps starting the gentle decline. Rich and alcoholic – very much the product of its vintage rather than the house.
