Tasting Notes

Disgorged Oct’11. Such a rich and fruity wine that the RD-character didn’t bite from the beginning. Now very dark in style with aromas of tar, raw mushrooms and heavy powerful flavor. Although not as elegant as Krug, but lately heading that way.

Score: 94 - 96

Richard Juhlin, Champagne Club 01 December 2015

The 1996 R.D. from Bollinger is another superb wine from this vintage. An expressive bouquet of spices, acacia blossoms and perfumed fruit emerges from the wine’s silky-textured frame. This generous R.D. is drinking well today, but also has enough freshness to age well for years. It is a great version of one of Champagne’s legendary wines.

Score: 96
