Bollinger, La Grande Annee Vintage:2002 opulent wine that hides itsDisgorged 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
