Score 96/100 · Drink 1992-2035, William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Aug 2022
Offering up complex aromas of mandarin, iodine, mocha, dried fruits, vine smoke and spices, Bollinger's 1982 Extra-Brut R. D. is full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with a fleshy core of fruit, lively acids and a long, chalky, intensely sapid finish. Muscular and vinous, it's the result of a late September harvest of a clean, ripe crop that was picked during light rain. The blend is 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay.
