Sparkling wine
Bollinger, Vieilles Vignes Françaises 2006
RRP £595
Richly aromatic, deep and almost melancholic, this has a powerful, oxidative nose reminiscent of dried fruit, nuts and oak-derived woody characters. Highly concentrated, but even at more than a decade old it needs more time to display its full complexity. (Essi Avellan MW)
