Bollinger, PN VZ16 Vintage:N.V. spice-tinged cherry and blackberry scents

spice-tinged cherry and blackberry scents are brightened by suggestions of smoky minerals and pungent flowers

There is good depth and density in the glass

There is fine density to the powerful yet caressing medium-bodied flavors that are a bit less mineral- driven but much more complex and persistent on the overtly saline finish

Here the nose is slightly riper and a bit spicier as well on the purple fruit nose where the nuances are stifled somewhat by the presence of noticeable if not dominant reduction
