Like its rose counterpart, the latest release of Bollinger`s NV Brut Special Cuvee is showing especially well, bursting from the glass with aromas of honeyed apples, crisp stone fruit, buttery pastry, ripe lemons and fresh walnuts. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and vinous, with a deep core of beautifully ripe fruit, racy acids and a pillowy mousse, it`s a charming, characterful wine that proves that Special Cuvee is firmly back where it belongs. 92 points
