By Antonio Galloni The 2019 Champagne Summer Preview (Jul 2019), 7/1/2019, 96 points
(Bollinger R.d. (magnum) Sparkling White) Bollinger’s 2004 R.D., tasted from magnum, is all class. Silky and understated, the R.D is super-expressive and inviting today. In 2004, the R.D. is decidedly light on its feet and more perfumed than tends to be the norm at Bollinger. Candied lemon peel, mint, apricot, pastry and yellow fruits are all laced together in a Champagne that delivers the goods. The 2004 is 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay picked between September 25 and October 8...(Drink between 2019-2039)
