För mig är Bolly GA 2005 ett riktigt botten napp. För 1600SEK finns det massvis med bättre Champagner.2005 Bollinger La Grande Année Brut för 1600 kr är det bra?
Så här tyckte champagnewarrior.com march 2017.
2005 Bollinger La Grande Année Rich and spicy on the nose, hints of oxidation and volatile acidity appear as the glass warms. When well chilled, this is quite tasty, offering plenty of creamy biscuit and fruit, but warmth and air are not this wine's friends; it becomes almost flabby and definitely out-of-sorts. Bruised apple, fruit wax, empty citrus, and then a complete lack of finish becomes apparent over a couple hours. It is time for Bollinger to admit that the house’s 2005s have serious problems. The wines, especially the vintage ones, are not only underperforming, but they are some of the worst buys in the entire wine world. About the only positive is that this wine shows extreme bottle variation so you just might get a great bottle, but at this price, who wants to take a chance? (30% Chardonnay, 70% Pinot Noir; Fermented and aged in oak; First fermentation under cork; Disgorged mid-2015; No sulfur added at disgorgement; 6 g/L dosage; $100-150 US)
