Bollinger La Grande Annee Brut 2012 Review
This is a rich and creamy wine that has a heavy lean towards savory. On the palate, the edges are rounded by lively bubbles — lifting the smells of olive oil, capers, and a squeeze of lemon. This bottle is drinking well now but can age another couple of years to settle a bit.
