Dynamite. Chalkiness with slight honeysuckle. Exquisite way to start the dinner party. — 3 months ago

This was my first experience with Bollinger, and it did not disappoint. There were flavors of pear a little bit of Apple and a kind of toasty-ness. I don’t have a lot of experience with fine champagnes. But it seemed like the flavors here were more delicate and nuanced and kind of layered I guess you might say. This was a great start to our Thanksgiving dinner. As my dad said, “now that’s the way to start a party”. $50 at Costco was a decent deal and it came in a nice gift box. — 2 years ago

A bottle that holds a lot of sentimental meaning, this was the first “nice” bottle of wine my wife and I bought together shortly after we got engaged in 2015. We went to Napa a few days later and attended the Flora Springs Trilogy release party (which we ended up doing 6 times in a row). While iced-in here in TX this week, we decided to open this bottle that we’ve had for almost 8yrs exactly to the day. One of the things I love about wine is the ability to attach memories to bottles!

Right off the bat, this is classical 2011 Napa. It has a distinct green streak down the middle of the palate. Flora Springs was able to get the fruit semi-ripe which balanced out the lean and mean acidity. I have no qualms with 2011 Napa (and have found some to be absolutely incredible). I can appreciate a wine that speaks to the vintage, like this one. At roughly 12yrs, this is integrated. Oak is in the background, with cherry pipe tobacco, cherry cordial and underripe blackberries. Smooth and light bodied on the palate. Not getting any better, I suggest enjoying now. — a year ago
