Champagne Bollinger

Bollinger epitomizes what is often referred to as the British style

of Champagne: full-bodied, powerful and rich, more appropriate

at the dinner table than as an aperitif, and dominated by Pinot

Noir. The houses flagship Special Cuve, which is typically austere

on release, features mature notes of toffee and toasted bread due to

the fact that a portion of the wine is fermented in cask and to the

inclusion of older reserve wines in the blend.

Champagne Bollinger Brut Ros

60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier

92 | Stephen anzers International Wine Cellar

Pale, bright pink. Expressive aromas o resh red berries, tangerine and

toasty lees, with a suave oral nuance. Deeply pitched but quite energetic,

oering pure strawberry and cherry preserve avors underscored by

zesty citrus and mineral notes. Becomes richer and smokier with air

and nishes with excellent clarity, thrust and persistence. For such a

powerul wine this Champagne is impressively lithe and incisive.

92 | Wine Spectator

Tis oral Champagne oers hints o malt and whole-grain toast,

along with avors o date, spiced plum and dried cherry. Tis shows

ne balance and texture, and a mouthwatering nish o reshly ground

spices. Drink now through 2016.

91 | Wine Enthusiast

Beautiully pale in color, this is serious ros. Its rich and dry character and

its red cherry and raspberry avors are tied together by the nest acidity.

Champagne Bollinger Special Cuve Brut

60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Meunier, with the

addition on 5-10% reserve wines

93 | Wine Spectator

A lovely, balanced Champagne, with mineral and toast notes accenting

avors o quince, green pear, white peach and verbena. Backed by rm

acidity, this shows impressive texture and nesse. Like a mosaic, all the

pieces come together to make a beautiul whole. Drink now through

2020.

92 | Wine & Spirits

Richness is all in this latest release o Special Cuve, a complex and

supple blend based on red grapes (60 percent pinot noir and 15 percent

meunier with the balance in chardonnay). Structured by reserve wines

aged in magnum bottles, this wines texture unolds with layers o avor,

rom subtle Marcona almond to dark-toned apricot and brighter lemon.

Its creamy, saturated and delicious, balanced or current drinking and

built to age.

91 | Robert Parkers Wine Advocate

Te NV Brut Special Cuvee is abulous. Hints o pears, pastry crust

and hazelnut lead to an expansive core o ruit. Tere is plenty o the

signature Bollinger oxidative style in this rich, enveloping Champagne.

Once again the Special Cuvee is one o the best Champagnes in its

price range. Tis is Lot L114501. Disgorged April 26, 2011. Anticipated

maturity: 2011-2015. Bollinger is o course one o the great names in

Champagne. Te Special Cuvee is typically one o my avorite wines in

its price range...Bollinger is unique among Champagne houses in that

the reserve wines are all bottled in magnum and with natural cork, a

huge, labor-intensive eort.

90 | Stephen anzers International Wine CellarVivid yellow. Poached pear, singed orange and buttered toast on

the ragrant nose. Broad and eshy, with very good depth to its ripe

orchard ruit and honey avors. A zesty note o citrus pith adds li and

a rereshingly bitter edge to the long, gently toasty nish. Tis hey

Champagne would probably be better with rich oods than by itsel, at

least to my taste. (12/ 2011)

Domaine Mule Blanche Paul Jaboulet Crozes Hermitage 2008

90 | Stephen anzer

Greenish yellow. Te nose is strongly reminiscent o Puligny-Montrachet,

showing scents o orange, lemon rind, white owers and smoky lees,

along with a strong mineral undertone. Racy citrus avors give way to

deeper orchard ruit and candied oral qualities in the middle palate,

with a subtle smokiness adding complexity. Te nish is tightly ocused

and impressively persistent, especially or the vintage.

Isole e Olena Chardonnay oscana IG 200892 | Robert Parker

Te 2008 Chardonnay Collezione De Marchi is a model o elegance

and crystalline purity. Clean, mineral notes rame varietal ruit in this

subdued Chardonnay. Tis graceul, elegant white seems to have more

than enough stufng to develop nicely over the next ew years. I would

be tempted to cellar a ew bottles beyond that. Isole e Olena seems to y

under the radar, but insiders know better. Proprietor Paolo De Marchi

cras some o the most engaging wines in all o uscany, and Italy or

that matter. Drink until 2018.

Capo Martino in Ruttaris Silvio Jermann Friuli IG 2005

89 | Robert Parker

Te 2005 Capo Martino is a slender version o this wine. Perumed

aromatics lead to an expressive core o ripe ruit as this medium-bodiedwhite opens up in the glass. oday the oak is especially prominent, and

I am not sure the wine possesses enough plumpness to provide balance.

Calera Chardonnay Central Coast 2010

91 | Wine & Spirits

Josh Jensen makes this wine rom a collection o vineyard sources in

Monterey and Santa Clara counties. Its bright and citrusy with resh

scents o Mandarin orange and lemon, a lusty undertow o smoke

pulling back on all the ruit. Clean and vinous, this is a zesty white or

pan-roasted sand dabs.

Clos Pegase Mitsukos Vineyard Chardonnay Carneros Napa Valley 2010

91 | Wine & Spirits

Intense and richly avored, with a mix o ripe g, honeydew melon

and oral scents. Raw in texture, but should smooth out. Snappy, well-

balanced and complex on the nish. Drink now through 2018.

Frogs Leap Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2011

Tis is a dry wine o substantial scale that carries itsel well, as it retains

a delicacy to complement ood, not overwhelm. Te alcohol is kept low,

the acidity high, and the avors crisp and rereshing. Just released. No

ratings available yet but this label consistently scores 90+.

Silverado Sauvignon Blanc Napa Valley 2009


Te 2009 vintage was a great one or this bottling, which was too sweetin 2008. Tis ones more like the 05, only richer and better. It eels nice

and crisp and dry, with polished, complex citrus ruit, white ower,

peach and mineral avors. Editors Choice

Eroica Riesling Columbia Valley 2010

Eroica has put on racing stripes or the 2010 - a lean vintage with scents

o lime and lemon, revealing a mineral spine rom the aroma straight

through to the nish. Aer a day the structure lengthens a bit and the

avors relax into lemon rom lime, but the wine still has plenty o drive.

Built or the cellar.

93 | Cellar Selection | Wine & Spirits

Eroica has a proven ability to age; in act it needs at least a hal decade

in the cellar to show its real strengths. ight and packed with primary

ruit avors o lime and peach, this beautiully proportioned wine has

perceptible sweetness but plenty o natural acidity. Lively and resh

today, but best given a ew more years in the cellar.


Te 2010 Eroica Riesling had just been bottled when I tasted it. It displays

similar aromatics but with more elevated acidity, a characteristic o the

vintage that provides considerable rereshment in the nish.

91| Robert Parker

Light and appealing or its delicate pear and peach avors, with hints o

mineral and chalk, dancing lightly through the open-weave, o-dry nish.

Deumayn rez Malbec Reserva Mendoza 2007

92 | Robert Parker

Bodegas Deumayens 2007 rez Reserva Malbec was aged in 33% newFrench oak or 12-14 months. A glass-coating opaque purple color,

it oers up an alluring nose o spice box, mineral, smoke, and black

cherry. Medium-bodied and elegant on the palate, it is mouth-coating,

savory, and concentrated. Give it 2-3 years to ully blossom and drink it

rom 2012 to 2022.

Iscay Merlot Malbec by rapiche Mendoza 2006

50% Merlot, 50% Malbec

Iscay means two in Quechuan and highlights the concept thought

behind this wine: two varietals, two vineyards, two people, rapiches

main winemaker Daniel Pi and Viticulturist Marcelo Belmonte,

who worked together to conceive this unique Argentinian wine. Te

Malbec contributes its deep red violet color with mature plum notes

and generous tannis. Te Merlots provides nesse and complexity with

black ruits, spices and cassis notes. Te blend during one year and a

hal in new oak barrels completes a remarkable amalgam o avors.

Manos Malbec by rapiche Mendoza 2004


A very rich and so wine made rom hand-squeezed Malbec grapes.

Teres a ton o oak on it, which comes out as coconut and cream on the

nose. Te palate is also creamy, with mocha, sweet blackberry and udge

avors. Cola, coconut, coee and other hedonistic, dark, masculine

accents make this a un and interesting wine to drink now. Best on its

own or with meat.

Marchiori & Barraud Cuartel #2 Malbec Mendoza 2007


Aggressive smelling early on but then it settles on classy raspberry, cassis

and herbs. Te palate is very healthy, juicy, rich and big, but the avors

o dark berry ruit are subtle and smooth. Chunky, sweet and ripe on

the nish.

Elderton Estate Shiraz Barossa Valley 2008

Bright purple. Intensely perumed nose displays resh blackberry,

lavender, star anise and vanillin oak. Bright and resh on entry, with

lively acidity giving li and spine to the black and blue ruit avors.Finishes long and sappy, with lingering smokiness and excellent clarity.

Miguel orres Conde de Superunda Curic Valley 2004

92 | Wine Spectator

Tis has character, delivering powerul currant paste, braised g and

hoisin sauce avors laced with notes o charcoal, tobacco and hot stone.

Oers a strong graphite edge on the nish too, which has some toast to

shed. Dense and powerul. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenre, Monastrell

Te 2007 Casa Real Cabernet Sauvignon (100%) spent 15 months in

95% new French oak. oasty oak, earthy minerals, exotic spices, incense,

there looks to be no risk in enjoying some young, too.

Louis Latour Volnay En Chevret 1er Cru Borgogne 2009

Intense dark ruby red with a mouth-watering bouquet o plums,

strawberries, liquorice and peppermint this Volnay 1er Cru is attractively

long on the nish with some tannins which still need smoothening out.

Tis is so balanced and rened and polished. I love the berries and

blackberries and owers on the nose. Full bodied, with super well-

gorgeous. Give it three to our years to come even more together.

92 | Robert Parker

Te 2006 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura emerges rom the

Te sheer intensity and muscle o the ruit saturates the palate rom start

Ruby-red. Musky aromas o berry skin and cherry, with complicating

notes o dried owers and herbs. Firm on entry, then eshier in the

Sweeter on the anise-tinged nish, where the cherry element lingerswith good intensity. Tis will be drinking well soon, or could even be

enjoyed now with a little aeration.

pliant, with deep red and blue ruit liqueur avors and supple tannins.

Clings tenaciously on the strikingly long, silky nish, with the oral

qualities echoing.

92 | Wine Enthusaist

Melis is a project backed by industry olks rom Caliornia, but this

blend o old-vines Grenache along with Carignan, Syrah and Caberenet

Sauvignon is very European. Its heady but well balanced, with smoothedges and not too much ery attitude, roughness or scratchy tannins.

Its orward and big-boned, but theres enough creamy richness to make

it riendly. Needs plenty o air time now; should hold well or ve-plus

years. (04/09) 91 points Wine & Sprits: Balanced at the heights o

John Williams consistently grows one o the most compelling Cabernets

on the Napa Valley oor--without ever irrigating his organically armed

vines. His 2008 is elegant and rened, a Cabernet thats not araid toshow some varietal notes o tobacco and herb, along with black cherry

and cranberry avors. Its complex and youthully tannic, all woven into

a seamless nish.


A very good Cabernet, dry balanced and complex. But its also very

tannic, and is not a wine you want to drink anytime soon. With a solid

core o blackberries, herbs and cocoa, it should come into its own aer2014 or so.

Te 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is compelling. Where to start? An

expressive bouquet redolent o sweet herbs, tobacco and incense leads to

a gorgeous tapestry o dark red ruit. Te Estate is drop-dead gorgeous,

with the silkiest o tannins that rame an extraordinary nish. Tis has

to be one o the most compelling values in Caliornia Cabernet. In 2008

the blend is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot and

2% Cabernet Franc.

*Cellar Selection* A lovely Cabernet, dry and rich in avor, showing lots

Swanson Alexis Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 200594 | Wine & Spirits

Pure Oakville luxury juice, this wine grows at the Swanson estate, where

its craed by winemaker Chris Phelps. Plush cherry and wild blueberry

avors give it a polished eel, while the savory details o the ne-grained

tannin add dimension and energy. Tis has a long lie ahead.


Swanson has a great track record with this wine, which is always in need

o time on release. Te 2005 shows classic Napa structure, with hard butnear-perect tannins and lush, oak-sweetened black currant, cherry and

dark chocolate avors. Brilliant, but will benet rom a good three or

our years in the cellar. Should evolve well beyond 2012.

90 | Wine Spectator

Delivers subtle, complex black cherry, currant, spice and cedary oak

notes that are well-structured and well-proportioned, gaining depth

and richness and ending with a nice touch o toasty oak. Best rom 2011through 2017.
