Description

1990 Bollinger R D – Wine Advocate # 144 – Dec 2002 Robert Parker reviewed. This wine was recommended, but no tasting note was given. Notes from Hedonist’s Gazette – May 2008 Robert Parker writes, The evening began with an exquisite 1990 Bollinger RD, a Champagne that remains super-fresh even at age 18. For me, it is even greater than the 1988 tasted several days earlier in Shanghai. This is a full-bodied, powerful Champagne offering wonderful caramelized white currant, brioche, cr?me br?l?e, and biscuit-like notes. Surprisingly powerful and vigorously zesty, this stunning wine worked beautifully with the assortment of hors d?oeurvres, which included my first ever foie gras hot dog. Who would have thought that I would ever encounter this culinary creation on the Great Wall of China!
