2012 Bollinger La Grande Annee Brut Champagne

97 Points    Wine Spectator

This goes from zero to 60 right out of the gate, with an intense spine of acidity driving tightly meshed flavors of crushed black currant, ground coffee, candied grapefruit peel and toasted almond. The profile expands on the palate, carried by the fine, raw silk–like mousse. Richly aromatic and expressive from start to lasting, spiced finish. *Ranked #10 Top 100 Wines of 2020, Highly Recommended* (AN)   Review Date: 12/2020
